How It Works

1. Spotify Authentication / login

Users begin by logging into their Spotify account through secure OAuth 2.0 authentication. This connection allows MusicMatch to access their music library, listening history, and create playlists directly in their Spotify account. The authentication process ensures user data remains secure while providing the necessary permissions for full functionality.

2. Choose Your Discovery Method

MusicMatch offers multiple ways to discover music, catering to different user preferences:

Personal Favorites: Rediscover your top tracks from different time periods (4 weeks, 6 months, all-time) Curated Playlists: Explore tracks from Billboard Hot 100 or most-streamed songs on Spotify Custom Playlists: Input any Spotify playlist URL to discover tracks from specific collections Artist Deep Dives: Explore complete discographies of your favorite artists LastFM Integration: Get personalized recommendations based on your LastFM listening profile
