A technology for propagating themes is provided. In one example, a method may include identifying media having a content feature contained in a presentation of the media. The method may include extracting the content feature of the media as a continuous variable and discretizing the continuous variable into a bucket representing a discrete value. A theme label may be applied to the media and may be propagated to other media with continuous variables discretized into the subset of buckets.

Techniques are described for automatically selecting musical content for playback based on an initial 'seed' of music selected by a user in a way that seamlessly extends the user's listening experience. The initially selected seed music might be, for example, an album or a playlist. Music that follows the seed music is algorithmically selected to match the music selected by the user.
