i'm trying to figure out how play doctor works, and also ~mix

i've got everything into very broad genres (about 15) and then minutely sub-categorized by using keywords.  it makes it easy to search, of course...but i'm trying to make playlists, so:

1.  what fields does play doctor read from to make it's fancy lists?  I DO NOT use ratings, never will.  i have a lot of tags filled out but not ratings....does it match keywords?  if so, does it look for [keywords] contains, or just the first one? 

2.  ~mix...i've got good % genres, artists, etc. playlists working but i can't figure out the expression language for keywords....how can i write a mix expression using [keywords] contains?  some of my stuff has many keywords and i'd like to be able to ~mix % based on one or two of them

3.  if neither of the above is probable, is there a better way? 

thanks for any hints here

Play Doctor uses genre, artist, last played, rating, and several other fields.  It looks online for similar artists.

thanks  Matt

any hints as to the "several other fields"?  i would be happy to do some extra tagging to make play doctor a tiny bit more useful for me...

+1!  and if we can select the list of fields used, that would be awesome, in 20 may be?
