Could you build this?
No SongDNA is an internal proprietary Spotify feature backed by Spotify's licensed metadata, music label rights graphs, and massive proprietary knowledge graph of songwriters and samples.
What it would actually take: Building an equivalent service requires licensing deep music industry metadata (from MLC, MusicBrainz, Jaxsta, or record labels) to construct an interconnected graph of songwriters, producers, and audio samples. The architecture involves a graph database (Neo4j or Amazon Neptune) integrated into a high-scale streaming media player serving tens of millions of concurrent queries.
