Baus allows you to instantly create a playlist based on just one input song. Unlike other music recommendation services, Baus does not use track popularity as a similarity metric.

This way, you are able to discover tracks that you have never heard before that are acoustically similar to songs you already love. Baus also implements something called Track Order Optimization--it determines the optimal order of tracks, so if you listen to the your Baus playlist in order (without shuffle), each track will flow right into the next. Baus syncs directly with Spotify, meaning whenever you create a playlist with Baus, it is instantly available for listening in Spotify! Baus is 100% free to install and use, so download Baus today and generate unlimited incredible playlists!
