Sonic Sage Server Results Only

Plex Labs
1

With a Tidal subscription, there was an option to only show server results for Sonic Sage. Without a subscription, that option was not there, and it showed Not Found results like it does now. It seemed backwards since you could not play Tidal tracks without a subscription. Since Tidal is no longer integrated, could the server-only option be added?

The server-only option should be the default (and thus the setting isn’t there). You can post Plexamp logs, but it should be searching and trying to match.

When I toggled the server-only option with Tidal, there were no “Not Found” tracks. However, the playlist was smaller because they were omitted. This is basically useless now with a three-song playlist.

Unless you have those tracks, you’re holding it wrong. The AI doesn’t know what’s in your library, so something like “Acoustic Radiohead tracks” works well if you have the catalog in your library, but given it doesn’t know what’s in your library, it’s not going to work for those vague descriptions.

I only have those three tracks that it came up with. So, this doesn’t work the way I want. Thanks for the explanation, I understand now. The suggested prompts work best if Tidal was still integrated.

Please enable the feature toneed to use Sonic Sage with our personal libraries rather than a music service. The solution is pretty simple: plex creates a csv of all unique “Artist - Albums” in your library, gives that to gpt-5-mini as part of the query to create the playlist. Cost would be minimal and GPT-5-mini is smart enough to only use songs from those albums. If you have a 5,000 songs, that is about 417 albums, which turned into a csv is about 4,271 tokens costing only $0.0011 for the input. So if you had 50,000 songs, you are looking at $0.01 for the query.

@elan Yes I just came to write something similar as @timlexi. It is possible to provide the AI with ‘context’. This context can be any sort of text, doesn’t need to be CSV. Maybe it’s possible to provide a text only version of the database to the AI so that it knows which songs it can choose from?
