Hey Seb,
Some questions:
- Did you listen to the generated playlist?
- Apart from the frequent repetion of the same artist/album, was it
fine in the sense that it sounded coherent, making abstraction of the
genre itself?
- are you at all happy with the way e.g. Spotify, Tidal, Roon generate
"dynamic" playlists? As what you seemingly want from lmsmusly is
exactly what's wrong with those IMO. They focus to hard on genre and
not how a song sounds. To me there's nothing wrong with putting a good
country song, some Creedence Clearwater Revival and e.g. a track from
Tesla's "Five Man Acoustical Jam" next to one another, as they do
_sound_ similar. This to me was the strength of MusicIP: it went all
over my collection, regardless of tagging, but always acoustically
coherent.
