Play Doctor?
« on: May 24, 2016, 09:27:25 am »

(2) Something seen on Allmusic I think, similar to Amazon,  and others - if you like this, check that one out, you will probably like it too. -- but based on my library

I have different moods, sometimes I like classic rock, sometimes I need soft blues. Having the suggestion engine will definitely help me to listen and re-discover existing catalog

Like Play Doctor?  if you pick a song it will recommend others that are similar and you can choose how tight you want it to stick to the original song

Exactly what I was thinking. That said - Play Doctor has never really worked for me so I have not come back to it.

??  What problem did you have?  Please bump or start a thread.

Will have to try it again - once I do - I can provide a bit more context.

Play Doctor is one the features that convinced me to buy.  The last four times I've used it came up with a better playlist than I could :)

The one and only time I tried it I think I put in something like The Fixx and got back a bunch of country tunes. You can see why it did not resonate with me.

I will try it again tonight and see if it's any better.

The more you give it as a seed, the better job it can do.  Try it by starting from a genre or a playlist.

Plus if it plays a song you don't like, skip it and Play Doctor will remove similar songs from the list, or at least not add that type of song in future.

I use Play Doctor a lot. Very useful.
