I'll admit this could drive someone crazy :D Let's go over this playlist: Metallica -> Anthrax = OK by me Anthrax -> Death Angel = still OK Death Angel -> Chris Poland -> King Diamond = can't comment on hat one, don't know Chris Poland King Diamond -> Badlands = still get it, it's softer than most of the previous ones, but that's because King Diamond is so very Judas Priest influenced Badlands -> Alice in Chains = still OK by me Alice in Chains -> Blind Melon = seems a stretch to me, but I'm not really familiar with them Blind Melon -> this particular Aretha song = I'm afraid it's acoustical analysis (which is what MusicIP is all about) is probably somewhat similar, especially as Aretha -> Billy Joel actually again makes sense to me. Have you looked if somewher in that sequence MusicIP (and hence Sugarcube) didn't find a match to the playing song and queued a random one? I'd guess that to be the case, but if it isn't, just let this mix continue for a while, even if it isn't what you're really in the mood for right now. In my experience, MusicIP mixes, generated continuously by Sugarcube, tend to go in waves: e.g. if you start with some really uptempo song, it will gradually slow down, just to pick up the pace again later on. When I'm home alone, I unblock all genres, and I've had it go from Meshuggah all the way to Elvis Presley and back up to Children of Bodom, which at first glance may seem strange, but when taking the time to really compare things like key, signature, passion, rythm, ... of the song the individual steps actually make sense. I know this doesn't really help you if you want to create a "metal & related" mix, but that's wher the blocking of certain genres comes in handy, although I too feel like more than 3 would be welcome, as sometimes i'd like to let it loop through exactly that. Maybe it's possible with moods or recipes first created in MusicIP mixer, but I don't know. As an aside: this playlist clearly indicates Metallica isn't metal anymore ;)
