Working

• The song name is passed in the recommendation algorithm
• Apt recommendations for all the different modes (check the website for this feature) are passed by the algorithm from the 132,000+ songs dataset.
• Metadata about the song is taken from the spotify API and saved in the dataset for future recommendations.
• The song is then passed to pafy(see requirements.pip), which generates a playable link for the song. This link is then passed to the webapp, which plays the song along with the next 2 recommendations.
