Introduction

SpotGPT is designed to help you find new music based on your queries. Simply enter the name of any artist and describe the kind of music you're in the mood for, and SpotGPT will do the rest. By harnessing the power of the Spotify API, we fetch real-time data on artists and their tracks, while our RAG system ensures that the recommendations are both relevant and unique.

Features

• Artist-Agnostic Recommendations: Get music recommendations for any artist you like.
• Spotify Integration: Uses Spotify API to fetch up-to-date track data.
• Advanced Natural Language Processing: Employs Sentence Transformers and GPT-2 for natural and context-aware recommendations.
• Interactive User Interface: Built with Streamlit for an engaging and easy-to-use interface.
• Dynamic Data Retrieval: Continuously retrieves and updates track information for accurate recommendations.
• Educational Value: An excellent project for beginners to understand and implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) in a real-world application.

Tech Stack

• Programming Language: Python
• APIs: Spotify API
• Machine Learning: Sentence Transformers, GPT-2, FAISS
• Framework: Streamlit
• Environment Management: dotenv

Installation

Follow these steps to set up SpotGPT on your local machine:

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/spotgpt.git
   cd spotgpt

2. Create a Virtual Environment

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows use `venv\Scripts\activate`

3. Install Dependencies

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Set Up Environment Variables

   • Create a .env file in the root directory.
   • Add your Spotify API credentials:

     SPOTIPY_CLIENT_ID=your_spotify_client_id
     SPOTIPY_CLIENT_SECRET=your_spotify_client_secret
     

5. Run the Application

   streamlit run main.py

Usage

1. Start the Application: Run the command streamlit run main.py.
2. Enter Artist Name: In the input field, type the name of the artist you're interested in.
3. Submit Your Query: Provide a description of the type of songs you want to hear.
4. Get Recommendations: SpotGPT will fetch and display the recommended tracks based on your input.

How It Works

Spotify API Integration

SpotGPT uses the Spotify API to fetch detailed information about artists, albums, and tracks. This ensures that the data is always current and relevant.

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)

The core of SpotGPT's recommendation system is based on RAG, which combines retrieval of relevant information with powerful language generation models. Here's a breakdown:

1. Data Retrieval: Using the Spotify API, SpotGPT retrieves tracks and their metadata for the specified artist.
2. Embedding Creation: Sentence Transformers generate embeddings for each track, capturing the essence of the song's description.
3. FAISS Indexing: Embeddings are indexed using FAISS to enable fast and accurate similarity searches.
4. Contextual Generation: GPT-2 generates personalized recommendations based on the retrieved tracks and user query.
