I don’t recall posting this.
This is actually adhd? I thought that was just me living the damn song. Lol
Nah, the same reason why DJ’s can be good or bad. Guiding the vibe of the audience is what they do, playing with the tension and energy of the crowd. Pleasing a crowd is easier than one specific person though, but the same rules apply when picking songs for yourself.
Plexamp to the rescue!
Is that like a music recommendation engine? Do you need to run Plex locally for it? I use JellyFin so don’t have Plex here but always looking for a better music engine.
Plex does a rather comprehensive analysis of audio (if you have Plex pass that is) and is then able to do some really cool stuff regarding playlists and such. One of those things is a mode where it keeps injecting songs that have the same vibe as the current song until you switch it off again at which point it’ll just go on with the playlist. It dies that surprisingly well.
Works for local audio on a Plex server capable of doing the analysis (no ARM support ATM) and for Tidal.
How does it compare to “go to song radio” on Spotify?
Not remotely close. Plexamp dies have the same radio features Spotify has and they have their purpose, but those “Guest DJs” as Plexamp calls them are different.
First of all, song radios do very often just include roughly the same styles of the original song, mix them up a bit. This specific “guest DJ” holds the style almost exactly if at all possible with the songs you have access to.
Secondly, it is not a Radio. It injects itself into a running playlist (which can be generated by sonic analysis as well, different topic). So you’d have your regular playlist going, notice that the style of that one song that’s playing right now is exactly what you want now, have it hold the style and when You’re getting tired of it,.you switch it off and the regular playlist will continue.
That’s super nice! One of the biggest things keeping me on Spotify has been just how much new music I’m able to find that I enjoy because of its algorithm. This feature is one I’m sorely missing though so I’ll have to check out plexamp!
Spotify would just play the same.few things over and over and over after a while for me. Especially since their algorithm will bend over backwards to only play 1-2 songs per album.
With the features of plexamp I regularly get songs I’d go “ouh, haven’t heard that one in quite a while” about.
That might be only me though. I encourage everyone to try plexamp with tidal for one month (which is free on tidal, not for plexamp). The free version of plexamp lacks many of the features, sadly.
The only downside is that it really likes to play remixes of the same song one after the other because they’re sonically similar 🤦
So have to avoid including remixes in your library.
That’s why you don’t listen to remixes but to metal covers instead :P
Hey I really appreciate this info. I’ve been thinking of giving Tidal a shot anyways and with features like this Plex Pass sounds like it’s worth it.
Certainly worth a try IMHO. Especially since you can get a free trial for tidal, pay a month of Plex pass and try this for a month for 5 bucks or so. Since Plex pass offers a lifetime subscription, Its basically a one time purchase piece of software anyway.

at least frontier psychiatrist is sufficiently varied that i can put it on loop 24/7
Growing up is hard. It’s hard and nobody understands.
Sounds more like obsession?
Or is it hyper-focus appearing like obsession?
idk sounds neurospicy to me either way
Haha well damn
Literally
After listening to a song a bunch of times I’ll often look for covers and mashups.
