Google’s new machine learning technology that it is rolling out to the platform. The algorithms not only figure out what music you like, but can also combine this with data like your location, current activity, and even the weather, to create personalized music playback. Google says that its machine learning takes data from the other Google services to help discover more about you. Those concerned about privacy will be pleased to note that it seems that listener have to opt in to the service. Google says :
“When you opt in, we’ll deliver personalized music based on where you are and why you are listening — relaxing at home, powering through at work, commuting, flying, exploring new cities, heading out on the town, and everything in between”The home screen now features a couple of panels that will offer up new music and playlists that are tailored to your tastes and current activity. Google may present some new songs to get you pumped for your workout, or offer up some upbeat tunes to get your weekend off to a start on Friday evening.
This updated also includes an offline listening playlist for subscribers. This list will be packed full of your most recently heard tracks. These new features should help Google Play Music better compete with the likes of Apple Music and Spotify, the latter of which is pushing its own personalized playlists with its new ‘Just for You’ feature.
