By using lyricsand annotation, musical similarity and user's similarity is found. Thenit generates a playlist according to a user's preference and situation.Additionally, the user can provide a feedback such as a favorite music andwhether the playlist is recommendable. The system transform thecharacteristic values concerning the user's preference and situation sothat it adapts to each user.
