Started three years ago, Super Hi-Fi first partnered with iHeartRadio and is now also used by companies such as Peloton and Sonos.<\/p>\n<p>Results are showing that users like this personalized approach. Cassidy notes that they tested MagicStitch, one of their tools that eliminates the gap between songs, and found that customers listening with MagicStitch turned on spent 10 percent more time streaming music.<\/p>\n<p>Cassidy\u2019s a veteran of the music industry \u2014 from Virgin Digital to the Wilshire Media Group \u2014 and recognizes this music experience is finally possible due to GPU acceleration, accessible cloud resources and AI powerful enough to process and learn from music and audio content from around the world.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Key Points From This Episode:<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Cassidy, a radio DJ during his undergraduate and graduate careers, notes how difficult it is to \u201chit the post\u201d \u2014 or to stop speaking just as the singing of the next song begins. Super Hi-Fi\u2019s AI technology is using deep learning to understand and achieve that timing.<\/li>\n<li>Super Hi-Fi\u2019s technology is integrated into the iHeartRadio app, as well as Sonos Radio stations. Cassidy especially recommends the \u201cEncyclopedia of Brittany\u201d station, which is curated by Alabama Shakes\u2019 musician Brittany Howard and integrates commentary and music.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Tweetables:<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cThis AI is trying to create a form of art in the listening experience.\u201d \u2014 Brendon Cassidy [14:28]<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope we\u2019re improving the enjoyment that listeners are getting from all of the musical experiences that we have.\u201d \u2014 Brendon Cassidy [28:55]<\/p>\n<h2><b>You Might Also Like:<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/theaipodcast\/ep-23-how-yahoo-uses-ai-to-create-instant-esports-highlight-reels\"><b>How Yahoo Uses AI to Create Instant eSports Highlight Reels<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Like any sports fan, eSports followers want highlight reels of their kills and thrills as soon as possible, whether it\u2019s <i>StarCraft II, League of Legends <\/i>or <i>Heroes of the Storm. <\/i>Yale Song, senior research scientist at Yahoo!
