F.A.Q.
How does it work?
Hipsterfy gets track recommendations from the Spotify API using
the name of the artist you searched for and up to four genres from
the artist's Spotify profile.
Why did artist X return artist Y? They're not even remotely
related!
Often times, an artist will only have a limited number of generic
genres. Think "pop" or "rock". In these cases Spotify will broaden
its search efforts in order to fullfill the request.
Why did I get this artist? They are imensely popular!
Every song on Spotify has a popularity rating from 0 to 100, 100
being the most popular. Many popular songs have multiple versions
(single release, alternate mix, live recordings, etc.) hosted on
Spotify. Even though these are all the "same song", Spotify has a
unique popularity rating for each version that could be very low.
Why does searching for this artist not work right?
This project is still a work in progress. There are hundreds of
thousands of artists on Spotify and an infinite number of reasons
why one particular artist might not produce the expected results.
