You might like Music IP Mixer. I think of it as managed random (my term). You pick a song in your collection to "seed" a playlist, it then follows your (changeable) preferences to populate the list with other songs either most like or most unlike the seed, or degrees of same or different-ness that you choose in advance. You can edit the playlist - delete song, delete artist, more like this, less like this, etc., before you finalize it.
When first installed, it can take a long time (like hours or days) to do the first analysis of your collection. After that, additions are processed quickly. I use it to create playlists when I'm turning on music without something specific in mind. I find it does a great job of reaching into the far corners of my collection, to prevent me from forgetting things that I have. There is a way to integrate this with SC - it's something I haven't cared enough about to futz with. I just have it set up to use the same folder for playlists as SC, so then a quick playlist rescan and I'm ready to go. If you read around, it is apparently possible to incorporate personal song ratings and/or play frequency with this or perhaps some other programs/plugins. Personally, I can't be bothered, but perhaps that might also may help you do what you want. -- Goodsounds ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Goodsounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=56989 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
