As stated, I do not want Pop tracks when listening to Rock. Hence I want
to restrict the group of genres. If you do no want this, disable the
restriction. I dont want a checklist, as I dont want to reconfigure each
time I create a mix. To me, the beauty of DSTM is that after I have
selected a mixer, it just kicks in when required - no further
tinkering.

p.s. Did you try the Musly mixer? Just interested to see what you
thought. Its not as developed as this, as I didn't think the mixes were
as good.
