The acoustic similarity search is interesting, I had not thought of doing something like that. I did have a similar artist/song panel as one of my optional deliverables (i.e., I'll do it if I have the time). I'm not sure what most people find more useful. If similarity data is something that people would like to see, I could make it a priority. I just didn't prioritize it because it is not a feature that I have used much in players that have the capability. > Let me know if you'd be interested in using it, I'd be happy to put in some > work to make the similarity code more independent of the actual queuing. If you would like to, that would be great. I can't guarantee that I will have the time to integrate it but it would definitely make a useful addition.
