Spotify is India Archivesdabbling in crowdsourced information, taking a leaf out of Wikipedia's book.
The music streaming platform has started collecting suggested metadata edits from its users.
SEE ALSO: Will Spotify and Apple Music soon be forced to jack up their prices?Spotify has allowed listeners access to its music metadata editor, Line-In, in an effort to collect a wide range of different user responses.
In a statement, Spotify said it hopes to learn from listeners' descriptions of music. "By experimenting with this tool, we hope to better understand how Spotify listeners interpret music, so that we can improve experiences for both listeners and artists."
If you use Spotify's desktop app, you'll be able to "suggest an edit" by clicking the three little dots beside an artist, album, or song title.

For example, some people might refer to Blur's "Song 2" as that "woo-hoo" song or might call "Dilemma" by Nelly and Kelly Rowland, the "no matter what I do" song.

Importantly, unlike Wikipedia, your edits won't be implemented straight away, instead Spotify will collect and analyze all suggestions.
We'll wait here while people inevitably make up the most ridiculous genres they can think of.
