They are working continuously to improve music organization and search management thereby addressing the problem of choice and simplify exploring new music pieces. Recommendation systems gain more and more popularity and help people to select appropriate music for all occasions.

Music has a great influence on humans and is widely used for relaxing, mood regulation, destruction from stress and diseases, to maintain mental and physical work. There is a wide range of clinical settings and practices in music therapy for wellbeing support.

With a combination of artificial intelligence technologies and generalized music therapy approaches, a recommendation system is targeted to help people with music selection for different life situations and maintain their mental and physical conditions.
