This might be genre-related since I listen to all older (50s-60s, singers, standards, doo wop, etc.) so there are a lot of slower-songs to begin with generally speaking so it makes sense why it's happening, again just wish there was a way to control it. Not at all familiar with the projects but will look into them since it seems like some exterior solution like that might wind up being the answer. typecrazy789's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68049 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115843 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] MusicIP, Spicefly Sugarcube and Tempo Changes
Interesting. What you describe doesn't match my experience. What are your settings in "SugarCube Mix Mode : Standard MusicIP"? Is it possible it's too "wide" or "loose" and that swing is what gets you into ballads? The idea of restricting moods to time of day is interesting, but makes sense. I like the mixes I get with Sugarcube. However, I do wish Sugarcube had the ability to use moods and some of the other metadata being worked on with the Essentia/Musly/Similarity projects (search forums for more detail, if you're interested). Sugarcube already has the ability to query TrackStat ratings from an external source. I suspect it would be another query into a Similarity database to gather mood, especially since there isn't a way to get mood out of MusicIP (that I've found that isn't tedious and error-prone). Then combine the queries to produce a playlist or select the next track. prabbit's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11142 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115843 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] MusicIP, Spicefly Sugarcube and Tempo Changes
I understand Sugarcube doesn't support moods, but I'm wondering if there's any way through the use of recipes to better-control the tempo shifts that happen over time with the arc that MusicIP likes to build (basically alternating between fast and slow, with steps in between). I wind up sometimes with a good 60-90 minutes of ballads during the day, which I have to manually go in and re-seed the sequence to break out of. I'd like to have fewer slow songs play during the day and the opposite in the evenings, but I've not been able to solve it, and I don't want to try to do it through playlists or other band-aiding. Essentially wondering if there's any possible way to call a binary mood using a recipe.
