Reniera,

No, I hadn't noticed the sugarcube plugin.  Just looking through it now
- there's a lot to take in but it seems quite powerful. To be honest,
what seems to be its main function (next track chosen will be similar
to current track) is specifically what I don't want. The "if you liked
X then you'll probably like Y" I mentioned above was more about using
other people's ratings (assuming they're accessible) to decide rather
than using musicIP to choose Y because its similar to X. I prefer
contrast and want it to choose based only on
myRating/playcount/lastPlayedTime but I do see this sugarcube feature:
"Utilises TrackStat to enable greater control of the music selection. 
Block tracks under a certain rating level.  Prefer tracks with a Low or
High Playcount or Recently/Least Played and High or Low Ratings.  Ensure
you dont always hear the same tracks" (and some other related features)
that sound like exactly what I want.

Thanks for the tip - I'll definitely be installing this and giving it a
go.
