And apart from that, there was no material included that I hadn't been very "aware" of, so I actually pretty much know how those songs sound. bakker_be wrote: > > > > - 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? > > > Mostly, yes. Apart from that one/two songs that don't fit at all. Maybe one could argue that they sound more or less coherent in the sense that for example the Black Metal style song was from the more "catchy" end of that genre's spectrum. Still, it was about screeching/growling vocals compared to "normal" Rock voice style vocals in the seed and most other tracks. So, well, pretty OK with some abnormalities, I would say. bakker_be wrote: > > > > - are you at all happy with the way e.g. Spotify, Tidal, Roon > generate "dynamic" playlists?

You're right, lmsmusly was/is a big hope for me to get to something MusicIP-like when it comes to generating "automated/dynamic" playlists. And I am not totally disappointed with it, I just think that something about the way it mixes is not yet ready/right. I know that "true" random looks less random to humans than "controlled" random. Still the "partitioning" of the generated playlist was odd in my view. To be honest, my real dream application is something else: Based on some MusicIP/musly-like mixing, I would like to be able to generate dynamic playlists that come close to a very good DJ, but for a less "closed"/consistent audience. Meaning: going through a collection of extremely big spectrum of music (I always refer to it as "from Nena to Napalm Death") that my wife and I have collected, I would like to get an "slowly oscillating style" type of mix. E.g. starting of with a Hard Rock track, going over to Classic Rock/Rock'n'Roll after some tracks, proceeding to Pop, coming over whatever iterations to even Death or Black Metal. All with some "coherence" within each bunch of 4-5 tracks, having slow/soft transitions. MusicIP was relatively close, but seems to have its limits when it comes to opening the tracks taken into account over all possible styles of the collection. Plus, it doesn't do "soft transitions" in the sense I tried to explain above in a very clever way in my opinion. Hard task, I know, still I dream of getting there some day ;-) "The only word I know is 'Grunt' - and I can't spell it" (R.I.P.
