Generating media recommendations based upon beats per minute

A method, comprising:

• executing, in a computing device, a search query for a pool of media items, the search query comprising at least one search term;
• obtaining, in the computing device, the pool of media items based on the at least one search term of the search query;
• generating, in the computing device, a user interface having a first region comprising a display of the pool of media items;
• a second region comprising a plurality of selectable links of taxonomy concepts that correspond to the pool of media items;
• and a third region comprising one or more media item recommendations for a user associated with a user account;
• sending, in the computing device, the user interface to a client device associated with the user account;
• determining, in the computing device, a beats per minute value for generating at least one media item recommendation from a playlist associated with the user account, wherein the playlist identifies a first plurality of media items and the beats per minute value is calculated from one or more of the first plurality of media items identified in the playlist;
• identifying, in the computing device, a second plurality of media items within the pool of media items having a respective one of a plurality of beats per minute taxonomy concepts associated with the beats per minute value, wherein the plurality of beats per minute taxonomy concepts is a first plurality of beats per minute taxonomy concepts;
• determining, for at least one of the first plurality of media items, at least one of a second plurality of beats per minute taxonomy concepts;
• and
• tailoring, in the computing device, the searching of media items for the user by at least filtering the second plurality of media items to exclude those of the second plurality of media items associated with the user account and communicating at least one media item recommendation for at least one of the second plurality of media items within the third region of the user interface.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium embodying a program executable in a computing device, the program, when executed by a processor of the computing device, causing the computing device to at least:

• execute a search query for a pool of media items, the search query comprising at least one search term;
• obtain the pool of media items based on the at least one search term of the search query;
• generate a user interface having a first region comprising a display of the pool of media items;
• a second region comprising a plurality of selectable links of taxonomy concepts that correspond to the pool of media items;
• and a third region comprising one or more media item recommendations for a user associated with a user account;
• send the user interface to a client device associated with the user account;
• determine a beats per minute value for generating at least one media item recommendation from a playlist associated with the user account, wherein the playlist identifies a first plurality of media items and the beats per minute value is calculated from one or more of the first plurality of media items identified in the playlist;
• identify a second plurality of media items within the pool of media items having a respective one of a plurality of beats per minute taxonomy concepts associated with the beats per minute value, wherein the plurality of beats per minute taxonomy concepts is a first plurality of beats per minute taxonomy concepts;
• determine, for at least one of the first plurality of media items, at least one of a second plurality of beats per minute taxonomy concepts;
• tailor the searching of media items for the user by at least filtering the second plurality of media items to exclude those of the second plurality of media items associated with the user account and communicating at least one media item recommendation for at least one of the second plurality of media items within the third region of the user interface.
