RACOFI Music is a multi-dimensional music recommendation site, with an exclusive focus on Canadian content. The idea is, you create an account, and then rate a few albums that you recognise. To do this, you can select artists from the top ten list by clicking the ‘Top Ten’ button, or browse artists by initial via the ‘Browse Artists’ button. Use the ‘Rated Items’ button to view a list of previously rated items. Once you have rated a few albums, click on 'Recommendations'. By using one of two algorithms RACOFI will predict your ratings for other, unrated items, and present to you a list of the projected top ten, sorted by whichever dimension you’ve selected. To do this, it uses various 'collaborative filtering' algorithms (thus the 'CO' 'FI' part of the title.)
Next, to refine your results, click on ‘Search’. Here, you can give weights to the different dimensions, depending on how much you care about each. You can also select for music from certain years, labels, or from within a certain price range.
Part of our mandate is to promote the Canadian music scene. Artists can submit information on themselves (an informational URL is required) to be added to our databases. Hopefully this will serve to give some extra exposure. If you are an artist who would like to be added to our database, let us know.
