I felt the same way until I tried Spotify's Discover Weekly recommendation system. I don't know what they're doing, but I've found many songs I really enjoy that way.


Spotify's Discover Weekly is based on collaborative filtering. Some of the techniques they use are described in these slides: http://www.slideshare.net/MrChrisJohnson/collaborative-filte...


That's a major technique in one of the social platforms I'm working on, too. Glad to see it working so well at scale!
