Title: Auto-DJ options for better playlists
Post by: Jorgen on March 20, 2010, 03:03:53 PM
Here are some options I think would be useful in Auto DJ.
You should be able to use these together with the last.fm similar artist options.

1. Don't play the same artist more than every ___ track
2. Prefer higher rated tracks
3. To avoid that the playlist generation stops because no matches are found, the Auto-DJ could go back to a previous seed until a match is found.
If no previous seeds are available it could lower the % similar value until a match is found. After finding a match the % value should be restored for the next track selection.

Perhaps this belongs in this topic, but I think we should be able to toggle at which rate Auto-DJ prefers higher rated tracks. ... like set up the percentages each rating is favored.

Also, allow to chose the seed track. I like the idea of using last.fm to keep things similar, but it is frustrating not to be able to choose the starting point.
