Saw the post on Mastodon that linked over here and decided to give it a shot. I just wrote up this piece which feels like maybe it would fit.

    How will the robot dj go about retrieving the metadata, and what will it do with the contents?

      Initial metadata will come from the Spotify Web API. It provides the top songs and all the playlists for an individual. It also has a basic recommendation engine. The DJ will use all those as input to produce new playlists (which can be created via the API as well). I’m not doing any AI/Machine Learning. Just coming up with a bunch of if/then statements, randomization, etc… to see what I can pull off

      The metadata is a genius idea; I didn’t even think of that when running through ideas after reading your post. Thats probably the best location actually.
