[edit] About the hack

  • The server searches the musiXmatch catalogue for lyrics containing the name you provide.
  • It gets tags about each matching song from Last.fm and checks them against a short list of genres not ideally suited to a Valentines mix.
  • If a song looks suitable then its text is analysed.
  • If the lyrics are sufficiently romantic then the server tries to find a playable mp3 clip to add to the playlist.
  • Once the playlist is long enough the server stops processing and the songs start playing!

[edit] What APIs did you use?
