This chapter explains the role technology plays in all music: digital technology is simply its most recent manifestation. After reviewing the basics of digital sound, the chapter outlines the transformational effect of digital technology on musical culture. Particular attention is given to its impact on personal musical consumption, including the development of streaming libraries and music recommendation systems, and on the development of internet communities based on digital participation; a result has been the development of a distinctive ‘digital style’, illustrated for example by internet memes. Finally the chapter outlines the historical development of the music business, and the radical ways in which it has been—and is being—transformed by technology.

As the amount, availability, and use of online music increase, music recommendation becomes an important field of research. Collaborative, content-based and case-based recommendation systems and their hybrids have been used for music recommendation. There are already a number of online music recommendation systems. Although specific user information, such as, demographic data, education, and origin have been shown to affect music preferences, they are usually not collected by the online music recommendation systems, because users would not like to disclose their personal data. Therefore, user models mostly contain information about which music pieces a user liked and which ones s/he did not and when.

The article brings to light the use of recommender systems as technologies of the self, complementing the observations in current literature regarding their employment as technologies of ‘soft’ power. User practices on the music recommendation website last.fm reveal that many users do not only utilize the website to receive guidance about music products but also to examine and transform an aspect of their self, i.e. their ‘music taste’. The capacity of assisting users in self-cultivation practices, however, is not unique to last.fm but stems from certain properties shared by all recommendation systems. Furthermore, unlike other oft-studied digital/web technologies of the self which facilitate ‘self-publishing’ vis-à-vis virtual companions in social media, recommender algorithms themselves can act as ‘intimate experts’, accompanying users in their self-care practices. Thus, recommendation systems can facilitate both algorithmic control and creative self-transformation, which calls for a theorization of this new cultural medium as a space of tension.

The article describes the patterns and features of the development of the musical art of Dagestan at different stages of its evolution over more than half a century of history. We have analyzed the components of the musical and professional tradition, giving a holistic view of it, versatile reflecting both the originality and originality, and historical variability. These include: genre-species differentiation and systemic connections, stylistics and means of musical expression.The multifaceted study and the possibility of interpreting the data obtained allows one to create an idea of ​​the ways of the formation and development of the musical art of Dagestan during the period under consideration. The initial premises of the study can be summarized as follows.The structure of musical art is formed on the basis of the interrelationships of composer's creativity, performing practice and various cultural interchanges that undergo stylistic and genre-specific changes.The second premise was the look at the musical art of Dagestan as an actual part of modern culture. Therefore, the main source has become various forms of broadcasting musical culture (listening practice and analytical observations at concerts of classical music).Reliance on contemporary musical material and direct observation of the musical process in the field of classical, pop and other spheres of culture presupposes the study of the phenomenon in a synchronic aspect. The presence of publications by different authors and our own research experience make it possible to a certain extent to make diachronic comparisons.The important regularities in the development of the Dagestan academic musical art identified by us can form the basis for further research of genre phenomena in different historical periods.

Music recommendation systems are playing a vital role in suggesting music to the users from huge volumes of digital libraries available. Collaborative filtering (CF) is a one of the well known method used in recommendation systems. CF is either user centric or item centric. The former is known as user-based CF and later is known as item-based CF. This paper proposes an enhancement to item-based collaborative filtering method by considering correlation among items. Lift and Pearson Correlation coefficient are used to find the correlation among items. Song correlation matrix is constructed by using correlation measures. Proposed method is evaluated on the benchmark dataset and results obtained are compared with basic item-based CF

With the advancement of technology there are millions of songs available on the internet and this creates problem for a person to choose from this vast pool of songs. So, there should be some middleman who must do this task on behalf of user and present most relevant songs that perfectly fits the user’s taste. This task is done by recommendation system. Music recommendation system predicts the user liking towards a particular song based on the listening history and profile. Most of the music recommendation system available today will give most recently played song or songs which have overall highest rating as suggestions to users but these suggestions are not personalized. The paper purposes how the recommendation systems can be used to give personalized suggestions to each and every user with the help of collaborative filtering which uses user similarity to give suggestions. The paper aims at implementing this idea and solving the cold start problem using content based filtering at the start.
