This study analyzes equity in recommendation systems, specifically in a musical context, focusing on understanding disparities across different filtering strategies. Through the implementation of equity metrics, we investigate individual and group injustices among various recommendation approaches. The results reveal significant variations in the fairness applied by the examined strategies, highlighting the complexity of achieving equity in these systems. We conclude that a detailed analysis of justice in recommendation systems is crucial for identifying and understanding existing disparities, contributing to the future development of more equitable solutions.
