Hey guys, so my friend and i wanted to find a music service that randomly chooses any artist, and anyone of their songs and plays it. It doesn't learn what you like and just plays random music in hopes that you find a song or artist you really like that you never would have heard about otherwise. So my question is...Would it be possible to code an API for spotify that would chose an random artist and then a random song and play it, and then the next song is a completely song from the spotify database?(In efforts to find new music) Thanks:)

Isn't this what pandora is? and yes it's possible.Random number generators and spreadsheets will be in your future though.

In a way, plug.dj is totally random however it is split into music subcategories.

But my whole idea is that the system doesn't learn what you like and continues to play random songs..(i.e. I may not like country but i may stumble onto a country song that really speaks to me) In hopes that you can find new music without you inputting a genre or artist that you like.

Pandora, problem is pandora doesn't know genres. 

Apparently AC/DC = heavy metal

The best music you can get from pandora is by seeding artists or songs, but unfortunately you'll need to make several stations and shuffle those stations for good variety. 

I did discover a few artists like Angel Vivaldi through Pandora though.

As said it's possible and yeah I believe theres an option on pandora to disable the learning feature (or at least there was) or you could just stop thumbing up/down on things to make it next to impossible for it to learn.

last.fm doesn't learn what you like unless you favorite the song itself. pick a subgenre and listen away.

I hate to sound difficult guys, but to free up any confusion... i don't want it to be limited by any factor except the random song that is chosen. See pandora and such require you input a genre or something. I want the random music that plays to range from a guy in his mom's garage making electronica, to a hip hop group in Baltimore, to Taylor Swift. Imagine random.org except instead of numbers...its songs....

if you want to do something like this you need several thing :

1- A list of all the artist, check online if some sort of DB exist

2- A list of all the song from an artist

 

If you can find those 2 thing, you can make it work
