The problem of transitioning smoothly from one audio clip to another arises in many music consumption scenarios, especially as music consumption has moved from professionally curated and live-streamed radios to personal playback devices and services. we present the first steps toward a new method of automatically transitioning from one audio clip to another by discretizing the frequency spectrum into bins and then finding transition times for each bin. We phrase the problem as one of graph flow optimization; specifically min-cut/max-flow.

Running live music recommendation studies without direct industry partnerships can be a prohibitively daunting task, especially for small teams. In order to help future researchers interested in such evaluations, we present a number of struggles we faced in the process of generating our own such evaluation system alongside potential solutions. These problems span the topics of users, data, computation, and application architecture.
