Project 3: Workout Song Classification

Why it matters? Listening to music on YouTube has become an integral part of my life, yet a challenge persists. The music I prefer during workouts differs from my regular listening choices. However, the YouTube recommendation system fails to recognize this difference, resulting in the need to frequently switch songs between my workout sets. To address this, I decided to create my own music classifier. By accomplishing this, I expect the distraction of changing songs diminishes, allowing me to focus more on my workout routine and utilize the time saved on song selection more effectively.
