Hello,
Here is my configuration for several years. No extra tabs, everything is on this page. But I may have to add an Artist tab as I'm starting to have too many albums.
How do you make those 'This Is' playlists? Do you have a script which generates them based on popularity, genre, rating, etc.? Or is it just manual?
Wondering because it could be a cool algorithm you might have cooked up.
Hi! It looks like you quoted the wrong post, which is why I'm just now replying to this. I linked my tool SpotToBee in the post above this reply, so hopefully that explains how I made the playlists.
Otherwise, I actually did experiment with creating my own "This Is" algorithm, but Spotify seemed to be the only API with easily accessible audio analysis features. If you have any ideas as to where else I might be able to find that data, I’d definitely be open to working on an alternative!
I’m currently developing a tool that can pull those audio analysis features from Spotify—values like "danceability," energy, and key—and tag local audio files with them. This could theoretically be used to create smart playlists in MusicBee, but I'm limited by the number of custom tags (there are too many to actually use them all in MusicBee unless they're merged into one tag and then split with virtual tags), and I’m trying to figure out how to implement this at the moment.
As of now, I can generate smart playlists based on energy, valence, etc., but it’s a bit subjective and challenging to translate those values into moods or anything worthwhile for the average listener. For example, <50 energy and >70 "acousticness" might create a "relaxing" playlist, but this process is highly prone to error. I know Spotify has a "popularity" tag, but honestly, I figured generated playlists based on that value would be very similar to their curated playlists anyway.
