Methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable products for selecting tracks. A plurality of request parameters are received from a client device. Based on those request parameters, plurality of bans, history track attributes, and artist identifiers are loaded from a database. A most recent discovery track is calculated based on the plurality of histories and the plurality of artist identifiers. An artist identifier is repeatedly selected from the plurality of artist identifiers along with a track type from a set of track types until a predetermined number of artist identifier and track type pairs have been selected. A plurality of candidate tracks for each selected artist identifier are loaded from a database. One track of the plurality of candidate tracks is repeatedly selected for each artist identifier and track type pair until one track has been selected for each pair of the predetermined number of artist identifier and track type pairs. The predetermined number of tracks that have been selected are returned to the client device.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable products for track selection

Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for generating a playlist. An application programming interface (API) receives a request to generate a playlist, where the request includes a set of rule-primitives. A playlist engine evaluator evaluates a rule corresponding to each rule-primitive in the set of rule-primitives across a catalog of media content, calculates a cost associated with each item in the catalog of media content, and generates a playlist based on the items of the catalog having the lowest costs.

Systems, methods, and computer readable medium for generating playlists

Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for providing content recommendation by obtaining metadata associated with a media object, extracting from the metadata a plurality of terms associated with the media object, and mapping at least a portion of the plurality of terms to buckets. A query vector having attributes corresponding to the buckets is used to perform a query on a database storing media object documents having attributes corresponding to the buckets.
