Meet the people who design the algorithms that capture our musical tastes.   The people who make music recommender systems have lofty goals: they want to broaden listeners? horizons and help obscure musicians find audiences, taking advantage of the enormous catalogs offered by companies like Spotify, Apple Music, and Pandora. But for their critics, recommender systems seem to embody all the potential harms of algorithms: they flatten culture into numbers, they normalize ever-broadening data collection, and they profile their users for commercial ends.
