Part 2: Creating a Perspectival & Proprietary Dataset
Step 1: Platform Data Collection & Consideration
Since Spotify offers access to personal listing history & playlist, we could collect data such as Track Name, Artist, Album, Date/Time of Listening, and Track Popularity.
Obtain data by requesting personal data by using Spotify user setting or perhaps use Spotify API.
Dataset should have minimum of 10 rows
Spotify Songs Dataset
Step 2: Perspectival Data Creation
Adding subjective interpretation for our group’s dataset. Some ideas for perspectival column could be :
Mood while listening: our group members could add a column and describe how they felt while listing to each track (ex happy, relaxed, sad etc)
Personal Connection: any personal significance to the song? Like nostalgia or does it bring up your personal memory?
Song Genre (subjective): our group members could categorize genres of song based on our own interpretation. It could be different with genre that is already described on Spotify.
