Original Kurzfassung:
We present an application of audio-based music recommendation in the
context of an online music community. The FM4 Soundpark is a web platform
run by the Austrian public radio station FM4. It gives artists the possibility
to upload and present their music free of any charge. Visitors of the website
can listen to and download the music at no cost, and musical highlights are
chosen once per week by a human editor for airplay on terrestrial radio. The
FM4 Soundpark contains about 9000 songs with thousands of downloads
every day. In a joint project, we are working on new interfaces allowing users
a more efficient access to the data base. As a first step, we made audio-based
music recommendation and assistance for playlist generation an integral part
of the system. We will give an online demonstration of the various system
components and present evaluations that show the usefulness of audio-based
techniques in this context. Future components like a visualisation interface
will also be demonstrated.
