Is it possible to have an option in the Auto-DJ to make playlists similar to the current song using Track.getSimilar?

This would be great, I would love something like iTunes Genius. Perhaps we could work on a song bank where users tag songs as descriptive words to pair them?

That is exactly what I was thinking.

Last.fm's API provides that data if I understand it correctly and would be able to match songs to other similar songs.

i have added support for this
- in the auto-dj you can now choose between tracks from similar artists to the playing artist (default) or tracks similar to the playing track
- also for auto-playlists when Title is the filter field you can choose the criteria "Similar To", so the auto-playlist filters on tracks similar to the current playing track

its in the next update
