Ah! Then I'm sure they have some way of making the data needed much smaller than I thought it could be!

They only need to store (and occasionally update) the kernel parameters for the trained deep neural net. Very small indeed.
how small, what technology is that?
I don't do neural nets, but if I had to crudely estimate...
10,000 songs (the outputs) * 16 layers * 16 parameters per node * 4 for the bytes per float = 10MB + a DB of song/artist names.
I'm probably underestimating the parameters per node, and overestimating the size of the layers closer to the input. Further, it's more likely structured as an LSTM than a convolutional network, since sound is a streaming source.
