Michael, when used with streaming services (that is: with music outside my own library), SmartMix has a tendency to drift more and more towards mainstream over time so that whatever I start with, in the long run I end up with mixes that have very little genre variety (not within the mix but between different mixes). As an example: when I start a mix with, say, Missy Elliott, it starts with some Hip Hop but then inevitably drifts towards R&B and after a dozen tracks or so I end up with Beyonce. Nothing against Beyonce but that's not what I intended when I started...
It's pretty similar whatever I start with. There are a few main genre groups that it typically doesn't leave, so it won't go to 80s Pop from R&B or to R&B from Indy Rock but it always tends towards "big" genres, even if I start with somewhat more distinct. I assume this is due to TEN's algorithms which probably prefer songs that get played more often but is there maybe a way to counter it? If I start in a specialized Genre I would like to stay there and not drift into something else. --- learn more about iPeng, the iPhone and iPad remote for the Squeezebox and Logitech UE Smart Radio as well as iPeng Party, the free Party-App, at penguinlovesmusic.com *New: iPeng 8, the Universal App for iOS 7 and iOS 8* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97668 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
