CHAPTER 1.
1. INTRODUCTION:
1.1 Identification of Client / Need / Relevant Contemporary Issue:
“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life
to everything.” – Plato [1] This is a very famous quote that defines the beauty of Music. Music
is a way for someone to express his/her emotions, feelings, views and gestures. It is a way for
a person to spend their free time during travels and when someone feels low, music also helps
in uplifting morals. During prehistoric musical times, people tended to express their music and
ideas primarily through oral media. However, as social classes increased, many European and
Asian societies considered literacy superior to illiteracy, leading people to begin writing down
their musical notation [2]. We can understand how big the music listeners market is by the
report of The Time that Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour is projected to generate close to $5 billion in
consumer spending in the United States alone. “If Taylor Swift were an economy, she’d be
bigger than 50 countries,” said Dan Fleetwood, President of QuestionPro Research and
Insights, in a story for GlobalNewsWire. [3]
In FY23, music streaming services in India recorded an average of 170 million monthly active
users. This reflects an upward trajectory that has grown since fiscal 2020 with about 50 million
monthly active users joining during the pandemic. Additionally, music streaming in the South
Asian market increased by 16% from FY22 to FY23. [4]

To capitalize on this great market of the Music industry, the project allows users to play their
favourite songs offline available on the device. Music is a very vast genre with every person
with their own unique taste and music taste is very much proportional to mood. This Music
Player also provides users with music recommendations for their particular tastes and moods.

1.2 Identification of Problem:

In today's digital age, music has become an integral part of our lives and countless people rely
on music players to select and listen to their favourite tracks. However, as the digital music
landscape continues to evolve, several challenges and difficulties have emerged for users,
highlighting the need for a music player that can solve these problems quickly. Reasonable and
effective way. Users encountered compatibility issues when trying to play music in different
formats and quality levels. The lack of support for specific audio formats or codecs can lead to
frustration for users with diverse music libraries. While some music players offer advanced
features, their user interfaces can be cluttered and unintuitive, affecting the overall user
experience. A clear and user-friendly interface is important for an enjoyable music-playing
experience.

Develop a music player that prioritizes offline playback that delivers a smooth music
experience, respects user privacy, ensures wide format compatibility, and delivers a great user
experience. It is not only suitable but also suitable for the growing needs and preferences of
music lovers as a music library and with the ever-increasing diversity of genres and artists, the
need for an intelligent and efficient recommendation system is becoming increasingly clear.

This project aims to address these challenges by creating a music player that not only provides
offline playback but also leverages innovative features and user-centred design principles to
create a music player that stands out in the competitive landscape. This project aims to develop
a music player that not only allows users to enjoy their existing music collection but also
 7

actively helps them discover new and interesting music, thereby improving the overall music-
playing experience.

Collection of Necessary Libraries
Libraries are an essential component of software development, providing a pre-built set of
functions that developers can use to quickly and efficiently complete their projects. The use of
libraries can significantly reduce the time and effort required to complete a project, as well as
ensure that the resulting code is reliable, accurate, and well-optimized. Libraries can be thought
of as a toolbox that developers can use to build their applications. Rather than having to write
every line of code from scratch, libraries provide a set of pre-written codes that can be easily
incorporated into a project. This can save developers a significant amount of time and effort,
and help to ensure that the code is reliable and accurate.
 21

Libraries can also be beneficial for those who are new to programming or those who do not
have extensive programming experience. By using pre-existing libraries, beginners can learn
from existing code and gradually build their skills. This can be particularly useful in
environments where time and resources are limited. Moreover, libraries can be open-source,
which means that they are freely available to use and modify. This can be particularly useful
for smaller development teams or individual developers who may not have the resources to
write their code from scratch. By using existing libraries, they can create complex applications
with relatively little effort. In addition, libraries can provide a range of functionalities, from
data processing to machine learning, data visualization, and more.

Fig 4.10 Recommendation

The CountVectorizer and cosine similarity to calculate the similarity between documents
(songs in this case) based on their text data. Here's a breakdown of the code:

1. vectorizer = CountVectorizer(): Creates a CountVectorizer object. CountVectorizer

is a method in scikit-learn that is used to convert a collection of text documents to a
matrix of token counts.
2. vectorized = vectorizer.fit_transform(df["data"]): Applies the fit_transform method
to the "data" column in the DataFrame df. This step converts the text data in the "data"
column into a sparse matrix of token counts.
3. similarities = cosine_similarity(vectorized): Calculates the cosine similarity between
the rows (documents) of the sparse matrix obtained from fit_transform.
cosine_similarity is a method in scikit-learn that computes the cosine similarity
between samples in X (the term-document matrix in this case).
4. df_tmp = pd.DataFrame(similarities, columns=df["Song Name"],
index=df["Song Name"]).reset_index(): Creates a new DataFrame (df_tmp) from the
cosine similarity matrix. The columns and index of this DataFrame are set to the "Song
Name" column of the original DataFrame df. The reset_index() method is used to move
the "Song Name" column back to a regular column and provide a default integer index.

This code snippet uses a CountVectorizer to convert text data into a matrix of token counts,
then calculates cosine similarity between the songs based on the term-document matrix. The
result is stored in a new DataFrame (df_tmp) with song names as both columns and index. Each
entry in the DataFrame represents the cosine similarity between the corresponding songs.
