Song recommendations on Deezer: determine mood using colors semanticsIn discussion

Once, using this colour test, I noticed that my mood coincided with one of the Beatles' songs You can find the test version here: www.colorquiz.com Here: en.testometrika.com/personality-and-temper/color-personality-test/ Here you can find the test and simpliest MVP of music recommendation system how it can be created (MUSLI stands for Musica Lingua or Music Lingo): musli.icu The sequence of passing the test is simple: 1. Which of the eight colors seems the most pleasing? 2. Which of the remaining colors seems the most pleasing? (until all the color cards go to the result) A little theory with illustrations galaxy.icu.tilda.ws/en   Also I found the following: Scientists from the University of California, Berkeley, found that music and color are connected through an intermediate link - emotions news: news.berkeley.edu/2013/05/16/musiccolors/ paper: www.pnas.org/content/early/2013/05/10/1212562110.abstract   There is a research about how colours can express emotions: http://www.emotionallyvague.com Since the interpretation text can be translated into any language in the world, this makes music a universal language. Jim Carrey about music: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaoCB0vkMT8 Also listen to three songs from Paul McCartney's Flaming Pie album: 1. The Song We Were Singing www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4qObxQL4x0 2. The World Tonight www.youtube.com/watch?v=irt1OH_NNFQ 3. Great Day www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pTpCaV1zzw     And so here are some examples of matching the first pair of colors of the test and the songs: Your Desired Objective "Wants to sweep aside the things that stand in his way, to follow his impulses and be involved in special or exciting happenings. In this way he hopes to deaden the intensity of his conflicts, but his impulsive behavior leads him to take risks": 1. The Clash - London Calling www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfK-WX2pa8c 2. Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMR5zf1J1Hs Your Desired Objective "Seeks affectionate, satisfying and harmonious relationships. Desires an intimate union, in which there is love, self-sacrifice and mutual trust": 1. Echo Jet - Something To Believe In www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIx7MW1RbuI 2. The Beatles - All You Need Is Love www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7xMfIp-irg As you can see the author creating a song partially duplicates the information transmitted through the text channel (verbal) and the intonation channel of the music (non-verbal) Thus the song form is an implementation of Jung's Transcendent Function. As much as Max Lucsher's color test too "There is nothing mysterious or metaphysical about the term "transcendent function". It serves to denote a psychological function comparable in nature to the mathematical function of the same name that connects real and imaginary numbers. The psychological "transcendent function" is the result of combining conscious and unconscious contents" Also, if we put on the 7th and 8th place two colors, when mixed, it turns out the "the ugliest colour in the world" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantone_448_C), then we get the following interpretation: "Has an unsatisfied need to ally himself with others whose [ethical]standards are as high as his own, and to stand out from the rank and file. This subjects him to considerable stress, but he sticks to his [ethical]attitudes despite lack of appreciation. Finds the situation uncomfortable and would like to break away from it, but refuses to compromise with his [ethical]opinions. Unable to resolve the situation because he continually postpones making the necessary [ethical]decision, as he doubts his ability to withstand the opposition which would result. Needs the esteem of others, compliance with his wishes and respect for his opinions before he can feel at ease and secure" Paul McCartney - Cosmically Conscious An interesting thing: if you change four pairs of colors in places, while maintaining the order inside the pairs, then from Love intonation from "All You Need Is Love" you can get Joy from "Cosmically Conscious" an Us intonation from "Imagine" ^_^

Desktop app choose soundcardNot for now

I have a suggestion for the Windows desktop app: add a feature that lets users choose which soundcard they want to use. The main use case for this is that you can have multiple sound devices connected to a computer. The default device might be a speaker in the computer itself. Another device might be a soundcard connected to a hifi system. There might be other devices connected to the computer by bluetooth or USB and so on. Often the default device in a computer is not designed to be high quality because it is more intended just for the clicks and other sounds that come from Windows itself. Deezer is a music app and aims to deliver a hifi experience. Like me, I expect lots of other music fans have invested perhaps lots of money in their equipment, including the soundcard. We want to ensure the sound quality is maintained and therefore we want to use our choice of high quality soundcard. I have an M-Audio USB-connected soundcard that gives me both digital and high quality analogue outs. There is a huge number of soundcards out there that all work on Windows, but it is not like the app needs to support each one. For the vast majority of soundcards, Windows itself takes care of that, as long as the app allows the user to choose which soundcard to send the audio to. Imagine an app that plays video content; it's a bit like connecting a second monitor screen and wanting to display the video content on that screen but leaving the standard Windows display on its usual screen. Dare I say, the Tidal desktop app lets me choose the soundcard and I don't want to switch to Deezer unless it will also do this. Even good old Winamp lets me choose which sound device to use. As a developer myself, I am confident that to do this only involves querying Windows for the list of available sound devices, then presenting these in a combobox. Obviously the setting needs to be stored somewhere for the app to use each time. Thank you.
