Thanks for the info... I'll experiment a little more with exclusions
when I can.

Just an update on mixes though - as a trend I've noticed seems to
indicate a bias towards artists at the tail end of the alphabet. My
music is stored in folders by Artist then Album. So my analysis database
is primarily organized A-Z with with "Various" covering compilations
towards the end. (Not sure if the same applies to the Jukebox.)

What I've noticed is that I'm getting a lot of tracks from the the last
few letters. e.g. if I start a mix from...


Code:
--------------------
    Lana Del Rey - W, Z, V, W, W
  Tom Petty - W, V, Y, R, W, b
  ABBA - V, V, Y, V, V
  Chvrches - g, T, Z, W, Y
  DMA's - V, W, Y
  Jenny Lewis - W, V, S, V, W
  Ludwig van Beethoven - J, g, V, V, V
  Manic Street Preachers - W, Y
  Rolling Stones - Y, V, Y, b, W
  Weezer - W, V, Y, Y
--------------------


Obviously these are just one set of sample mixes - that I just generated
while typing this post, but the trend is apparent in most - as I
especially noticed a number of albums at with Various artists or Z
artists coming up again and again. (I don't have many artists starting
with "Z", so it becomes quite obvious.) 

As it's timbre based, the starting letter of the chosen artist should be
relevant, but I picked a few random ones that demonstrate a reasonable
variety of styles.

In almost all cases above, "V" is "Various". Interestingly the 'g' and
'b' are unusal in that they're both lower case - so that could be a clue
as to any sort being applied to result sets here. Most of my artists are
capitalised, but there are a few exceptions.
