      Is that like a music recommendation engine? Do you need to run Plex locally for it? I use JellyFin so don’t have Plex here but always looking for a better music engine.

        Plex does a rather comprehensive analysis of audio (if you have Plex pass that is) and is then able to do some really cool stuff regarding playlists and such. One of those things is a mode where it keeps injecting songs that have the same vibe as the current song until you switch it off again at which point it’ll just go on with the playlist. It dies that surprisingly well.

        Works for local audio on a Plex server capable of doing the analysis (no ARM support ATM) and for Tidal.

          Hey I really appreciate this info. I’ve been thinking of giving Tidal a shot anyways and with features like this Plex Pass sounds like it’s worth it.

          The only downside is that it really likes to play remixes of the same song one after the other because they’re sonically similar 🤦

          So have to avoid including remixes in your library.
