Thank you for adding that option. I'm a bit of a serialskipper
sometimes. This setting will also help prevent me looping back to the
beginning of the playlist when I skip too many tracks before enough new
tracks have been added. Even if it wasn't intended to do that :-)

And you're right, my hardware is very old (10y+), runs LMS, muslyserver
and other stuff, and I have more tracks in my db than you so response
times are not snappy, at all. And the machine goes to sleep if not used
+ the music files are stored on an external HDD (spin-up time). In the
end it all works but definitely much more slowly than on modern PCs like
yours. But I won't throw it away unless it's really broken.

Good news is that I may have 'fixed' my song mix/timeout problem for
now. Your Similarity code suggests that you'd planned to make the
'*getjsondata timeout value*'
(https://github.com/CDrummond/lms-musicsimilarity/blob/master/MusicSimilarity/Plugin.pm#L271)
a configurable pref option but maybe forgot to add the UI settings part?
A timeout value of 5 secs is probably too low for my paleo setup. So I
manually set the timout value to 25 secs in the prefs file. So far it
works. Which makes me happy because I'd find it difficult to go back to
random mixes once you got used to musly mixes.

P.S. No matter what, I like the 'create mix' option. Fast way to start a
mix from 1 track or to see what musly thinks is similar without starting
a mix (kind of like a dry-run).
