Dynamic song playlist generating / recommendation engine?

On Windows, Winamp has this feature that analyzes your songs and generates playlists of songs that are similar, like beat, tone, and stuff. And it works really well. The playlist flows very naturally fron song to song.

Is there something like that for Linux?

Re: Dynamic song playlist generating / recommendation engine?

Hi,
The music part is very poor in linux. I know that amarok has for example dynamic playlist generation. But it does not analyze the songs and then generate a corresponding playlist. ( Maybe as a widget in V2)

Also, you have songbird , which with a plugin/add-on could do that . As of now songbird possesses the best UI . So, why don't u give both of them a try ?

Good luck

An option since you're in America is pandora.com.

@gapo, I want a simple tool, not songbird's UI. It turns out songbird doesn't have a plugin for that anyway.

@ngoonee, i'm not in the states, and I want to listen to my own music.

I found that Winamp uses Gracenote, a technology/library/SDK that generates playlists. They give access to non-commercial devs. I signed up and I'll see what I craft up!

I know it is not exactly what you are looking for, but plait is actually an interesting and useful playlist generator.

Other than that, have a look at: http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Hack:lastfmpdqc
and: http://gjay.sourceforge.net/

Hope that helps
