Yandex Music launched smart filters for easy navigation

Yandex Music listeners now have a new way to quickly find the tracks they want in their “Like” playlist thanks to smart filters. The new feature simplifies navigation by allowing you to sort your favorite songs by genre and mood, making it easier and more efficient to find tracks.

Fast access to music in a large playlist

On average, Yandex Music users have about 360 tracks in their “Like” playlist, but some have collections of thousands of songs. Listeners add new music every day, and as the number of favorite tracks grows, it becomes increasingly difficult to navigate the playlist. Smart filters help simplify the process, making navigating your music collection a simple and enjoyable experience.

Smart Filters as a tool for deep taste analysis

The smart filters feature is not only a convenient way to navigate, but also a tool to better understand a listener’s musical preferences. The feature is especially useful for active users who regularly add new tracks to their playlist through the service’s recommendations and personalized selection My Wave.

The technology is based on a neural network that analyzes tracks from a user’s Collection and categorizes them. Currently, 25 different filters are available, including popular genres such as “Rap & Hip-Hop,” “R&B,” “Rock,” and “Pop,” as well as mood filters for “Fun,” “Calm,” “Sad,” and “Upbeat.” Yandex Music plans to expand the functionality of smart filters and add new categories for even more precise searches.
