Song radio, or start artist radio from song?

Hi, and thanks for putting together such a great product. Ever since getting my lifetime pass, PlexAmp has made my music-listening routine even more awesome, living true to its promise!

One thing I find myself missing, though, is the ability to start a radio from a specific song - whether it’s the Artist Radio (easier, I imagine, since it’s already implemented), or an actual radio based on the artist and the specific song (more awesome, but I don’t know if we have the metadata for that, even though PlexAmp does have “related” songs…).

Still, the request stands. Many times I want to start my listening sessions from a specific song and go from there, and for now the two options I have is:

a) Play the song, let it finish, and then play artist radio (which starts with another song from the artist, but ok…);
b) Play song, clear the entire queue, and then (if I have played that artist radio before), go to the main screen, right-click/long-press on the artist radio, and select “Play next”.

Both of these are sub-optimal. I’d even be happy with the workaround to long-press artist radio and have the option to “Play Next”, instead of just “Play”, which stops what’s currently playing and starts the radio immediately.

Please consider such a feature, either in PlexAmp, or everywhere.

Thank you.

We used to have the ability to do just that. It was called Plex Mix. We lost that feature in June or July of 2019. It was supposed to be temporary, but it seems pretty low on the priority list, and I doubt it will return.

Thank you! I wasn’t aware of Plex Mix, and honestly I wasn’t thinking of something so thorough (though from the description it does look awesome!).

For now I’d be happy with just “start artist radio from track”, which is sub-optimal, I agree, but useful and potentially cheaper to implement.

2021 clean-up: implemented (add song to queue or play track radio from song in library view)
