Abstract: Music recommendation systems are playing a vital role in suggesting music to the users from huge volumes of digital libraries available. Collaborative filtering (CF) is a one of the well known method used in recommendation systems. CF is either user centric or item centric. The former is known as user-based CF and later is known as item-based CF. This paper proposes an enhancement to item-based collaborative filtering method by considering correlation among items. Lift and Pearson Correlation coefficient are used to find the correlation among items. Song correlation matrix is constructed by using correlation measures. Proposed method is evaluated on the benchmark dataset and results obtained are compared with basic item-based CF.
