 Abstract
⮚ This project presents an innovative dual-component music system that leverages
artificial intelligence to enhance music discovery and classification.
⮚ The first component implements an intelligent playlist generation system that creates
personalized music collections through two distinct approaches: prompt-based curation
using user inputs such as artist preferences, and emotion-aware recommendations
powered by sentiment analysis algorithms. This emotional intelligence feature analyzes
user sentiment to suggest music that resonates with their current emotional state, creating

a more personalized and empathetic listening experience .

 Abstract
⮚ The second component focuses on automated music genre classification and recognition,
employing machine learning techniques to analyze and categorize musical compositions
based on their acoustic characteristics. This system processes audio features to accurately
identify and classify music into distinct genre categories, facilitating efficient music
organization and discovery.
⮚ The integration of these components creates a comprehensive music platform that not
only understands and responds to user preferences and emotional states but also provides
structured organization through automated genre classification. This project demonstrates
the potential of AI in revolutionizing music consumption and organization, offering both
personalized content delivery and automated content classification in a single unified
system. 4
 Introduction
 Music is more than just a sequence of sounds - it's our daily companion, mood lifter,
and emotional anchor. Whether we're seeking solace after a tough day, motivation
during a workout, or the perfect soundtrack for a celebration, finding the right music
can transform our experiences. Yet, in today's world of unlimited music streaming, we
often find ourselves overwhelmed by choices or unable to find songs that truly resonate
with our current state of mind.

 Our project addresses this challenge through an innovative dual-component system. The
first component acts as an intuitive playlist generator, creating personalized music
collections based on user preferences and emotional states. Using sentiment analysis, it
understands and responds to the listener's emotional needs, suggesting music that aligns
with or uplifts their mood. Whether you're feeling ecstatic, melancholic, or somewhere
in between, the system curates playlists that speak to your emotional state.

 Introduction
 The second component brings order to musical chaos through automated genre
classification. Like a knowledgeable music curator, it organizes and categorizes music,
making it easier for listeners to explore new genres and discover hidden musical gems.
This feature helps bridge the gap between different musical styles, encouraging
musical exploration and discovery.

 Together, these components create a system that understands not just what you want to
hear, but why you want to hear it. As we explore the technical details in the following
sections, we'll see how artificial intelligence and human emotion combine to create a
more meaningful music experience - one that enriches those countless moments where
music becomes an essential part of our lives.

 Problem Definition
In today's digital music landscape, users face two significant challenges: finding music
that genuinely resonates with their emotional state and efficiently organizing vast music
collections. Traditional playlist creation methods often lack emotional context and rely
heavily on popularity metrics rather than personal connection, while manual playlist
curation remains time-consuming and potentially limiting. Similarly, the categorization
of expanding music libraries has become increasingly complex, with genre boundaries
often blurring and manual classification becoming impractical. This project addresses
these challenges by developing a dual-component system: an AI-powered playlist
generator that creates personalized music collections based on user prompts and
emotional states through sentiment analysis, and an automated genre classification
system that efficiently categorizes music based on audio features. The system must
deliver real-time recommendations, maintain high accuracy in genre classification, and
provide a seamless user experience while processing large music libraries. Through this
integration, we aim to transform how users discover, experience, and organize their
music, making it more personally meaningful and technically efficient.
