Whats exactly should we do?
1. try to understand the problem.
2. improve the situation using the knowledge gathered in 1.
3. go back to 1. :-)
Log DSTM and LastMix events (set to INFO or be prepared for a lot of log
output). See what it says when odd things happen: did it fail to find
tracks, falling back too early? Could we try harder? Eg. right now it
only picks five random tracks from your playlist. If they happen not to
provide enough information as a seed, while others would, should we
continue the search?
As you're computer literate you could eg. read up on the last.fm API,
understand what options they offer, and think about good ways how those
calls could be used to come up with good results. Keep in mind that we
shouldn't hammer their services. Try to use the minimum calls possible
and necessary. No coding is required to do this. Just understanding
their offering and trying to get some good idea what to do with it.
I have most of them - eg. my Gary Numan Collection is by far the Artist
with the most Albums (59) in my collection - but Gary Numan wasnt shown
it was Gary Moore :)
As mentioned elsewhere this most likely is DSTM falling back to a random
mix, as LastMix failed to come up with usable data.
