I've been using Similarity a bit more. I like it. Far better than random
mixes.

Can I just ask about genre filtering: if I create only *one* genre
filter group for Classical music genres does this mean that if I start a
mix with *no* classical music seed tracks does it mean that this mix
will cover *all* genres except classical music? Just asking because
while I'd like a classical music mix to feature only classical music I
don't want classical music tracks to appear in any other mix.

Do you think you could make the number of tracks DSTM adds (default=5) a
config option? The DSTM similarity mix uses the similarity score of the
last 5 seed tracks (the ones it just added) and therefore it would a
kind of 'evolving' mix changing the character of the playlist as it
'evolves'? Compared to always using the similarity score of the
original/first seed tracks. If it's evolving then larger batches would
mean that the 'character' of the playlist would change more slowly
(which can be nice). Or maybe another option to lock the similarity
scores to the original seed tracks to keep the character of the
playlist?

I'm very glad you added the "Create Similarity Mix" context menu item
and that it adds 50 tracks at once because the DSTM mixer is not really
working for me right now.

Plugins::MusicSimilarity::Plugin::__ANON__ (176) Failed to fetch URL:
Timed out waiting for data
Plugins::MusicSimilarity::Plugin::_mixFailed (202) Return empty list

The first batch is usually added without problems but when the second
batch is supposed to be added (last but one song started) it seems DSTM
or Similarity times out before musly server has returned the results and
DSTM adds the 'song mix'. The muslyserver python process is still busy
when DSTM adds the song mix.
At first I thought it was related to my setup: I often use a touchscreen
piCorePlayer (without Squeezelite running) to control other clients -
like a Boom in this case.

Do you know how to fix this? Or this someting that can only be addressed
in the DSTM plugin? (didn't find any timeout option in DSTM though)

Thank you.
