DEPRECATED Please use Bliss Mixer instead.
Music Similarity plugin for LMS. Provides a mixer for Don't Stop The Music.
This plugin will send requests to the Music Similarity service to get random tracks similar to seed tracks chosen from the current play queue.
The Music Similarity backend uses Musly to locate similar tracks based upon a seed track's 'timbre'. The similar tracks are then further filtered by checking audio characteristics (BPM, Key, etc.) against those of the seed track.
3 entries are added to LMS' 'More'/context menus:
Similar tracksreturns (up to) 100 tracks that are similar to the selectedtrack, returned in similarity order.Similar tracks by artistreturns (up to) 100 byt the same artist that are similar to the selected track, returned in similarity order.Create similarity mixcreates a mix of (up to) 50 tracks based upon the selected artist, album, or track, returned in a shuffled order.
NOTE These menus do not currently work with the Default LMS web skin, but do
work with Material Skin and other controllers.
If you have analysed your files with Essentia high-level, then there will be a 'Smart Mixes' entry under 'My Music'. This will allow you to create mixes based upon Essentia attributes - e.g. 'Danceable', 'Not Aggressive', etc.
It is only possible to create new mixes using 'Material Skin' - as this plugin integrates with that and provides a dialog for creating these mixes. Any existing mixes should appear with other controllers.
When LMS starts, this plugin will query the 'Music Similarity' server to check whether Essenta high-level was used - and only if so is this 'Smart Mixes' entry added to 'My Music'
