Being person who has “tried them all” as far as music streaming services, I love my server the best … LOL … But one thing that I would like to see change / added would be to artist radio. It seems that when this mode is played, the mix starts off with the selected artist, but rarely am I hearing that artist again. It’s assumed (obvious) that I chose to play that artist radio because I appreciate their contribution to the music and my world …
Perhaps a slider or percentage input of selections I want to hear from the artist on their radio mix … Even something like a pulldown menu to select … few, more, many more, flood my mix
I saw that there is degrees of separation in PLEX Amp 3.0 and having not played it enough, Im not sure this really accomplishes what Im looking to be added …
mixbuilder.
choose the 1 artist
click the 3 dots or tap-hold for context menu
choose ‘mix’ (not radio)
you will get random radio of that one (or however many selected) artists.
the mixbuilder > radio = selected + related artists
This is kind of fun, it just controls how much variability in stations. One degree for an artist radio means the seed artist and all similar artists; Two means, in addition, all artists which are similar to the similar artists, and so forth.
But I want a station that is more “weighed” with the artist who’s radio station I choose.
Example. Pink Floyd Radio … Yes, it starts with a random Pink Floyd song, but many times that’s the only song by Pink Floyd I will hear. Im looking for, lets say a que of 100 songs, and the ability to tell it I want maybe 1/3 of them to be by Pink Floyd, and the other 2/3 by similar artists that would be or expected to be in Pink Floyd Radio …
Yes … Thanks Elan, I currently have PLEX Amp 3.0 set to One Degree … and so, although I get more artists that are closer in relation to the chosen artist, I get very few of the artists songs of the radio station I first selected.
Could the dev team write an algorithm in the code that could say something like of 100 songs, include 33% (or 50% or 75%) of those 100 songs be by the artist of the chosen radio station …
In my previous post, that example being Pink Floyd … Under this choice I would select maybe 50% (50 songs) out of the 100 by Pink Floyd scattered / shuffled amongst the other 50 songs of the 100 …
By making this choice I would understand I would hear a lot of Pink Floyd in that session, which is most times what I would desire if I chose Pink Floyd radio.
