What Hacker News says?

  1. It's already been happening I think. One of the core members of the team who built the music recommendation features left a few years ago https://notes.variogr.am/2016/11/16/leaving-spotify-the-echo...

  5. Yes, that is a better analogy, but the technical bar for streaming audio is very low -- far lower than understanding the music. You'll be seeing a lot more consumer oriented uses of our data in the near future that stream music. Developers interested in making a 'pandora of the future' should read about our deals with 7digital, IDJ and play.me/dada that handle the content side of things: http://notes.variogr.am/post…
