I loooove the way DJ Stretch and his neural network colleagues dig into my music library and
I would loooooove it even more if DJ Stretch could arrange my playlists!

Edit to clarify my suggestion:
As of now you can either play or shuffle an existing playlist. I would like to suggest a third modus: To play the songs in that playlist ordered by sonic similarity.

DJ Stretch does a tremendous job in expanding an existing playlist with additional songs. Love it. And would like to ask him to help me arrange my huge playlists into a nice flow :wink:

What does that mean?

You can already activate a Guest DJ while playing a playlist.

I know that and I activate a Guest DJ pretty often when playing a playlist.

What I mean: My playlists tend to be very long, consisting of sometimes up to 100 songs. As of now I can play them in the order of my playlist or I can shuffle them. But my idea is that a Guest DJ could arrange the playlist according to the “similarity” of the songs contained in my playlist.

Does this help to clarify my feature suggestion?

Yes, thanks this is much clearer now.

I believe there’s been a similar suggestion regarding sonic adventures. The suggestion aimed at rearranging the selected tracks to produce the longest/shortest adventure.

Not the same as yours… I just thought I share it ad there’s an underlying mutual idea.

As OP of the other suggestion, I love this idea too! Basically using Plexamp’s sonic analysis across the whole playlist to add more song suggestions, or a sort of “offline pass” with DJ Stretch–similar to Spotify’s “enhance” button on playlists there. Would be cool to see!

My suggestion was though to sort an existing playlist by a Guest DJ without adding additional songs.

Adding additional songs to a playlist can be done pretty easily in Plexamp: Start playing your playlist and then turn on Guest DJ “DJ Stretch”. This will add 3 additional songs in between each of your playlist’s songs.

DJ Stretch will thereby build a kind of musical bridge from one of your songs to the other. And this works miracles - I really, really love it.

I getcha, so less of an adding, more of a rearranging–based on sonic similarity, I imagine. Not a bad idea either! You can kinda do something like that presently with DJ Stretch and then saving the queue it comes up with to a fresh playlist. At least I think that’s possible, I’ve always just had those songs added to the bottom of the same playlist, so that’s something to experiment with.

All the same, the Sonic stuff is Plexamp’s killer feature for me, so I hope they keep expanding on it!
