Play related songs after playing a searched song #461

Open forteller opened 1 year ago

forteller commented 1 year ago

Is there an existing issue for this?

Pain

Some times I want to hear a specific song right now, so I search for it. That does not mean that I only want to hear that song, though. Still when playing a song from search it is set to repeat for forever.

Suggested solution

I prefer the way Spotify does it, where it automatically adds other, similar songs to the queue when playing a song from a search result.

Thanks for a fantastic application I use every day! :)

This would require a bit of tracking tbh. Could possibly be done with local analytics

This is the original task https://github.com/KRTirtho/spotube/issues/466

I have no idea if this idea is viable: what about implementing a a 'play/related tracks' function similar to those potentially found in or used by other apps (I dont know which, IIRC I found some really cool artists in Radio4000..).

I was recently looking for this function of 'automatically adding similar tracks to the queue', and found some seemingly promising apps on AlternativeTo, again IIRC, a common tag/feature of most or all of the FLOSS apps was "Music Discovery Service." I seem to recall a notably different method of finding similar tracks (as opposed to Spotify's presumably tracking involved analytics) that involved something like pulling from users with similar interests from an open-source database, or... using discogs similar tracks (or something along those lines... maybe libre.fm related, or..I'm not sure) to find similar tracks by categories, users with similar interests, I am not exactly sure... I do remember thinking 'that sounds like a clever way to prevent user-tracking while at the same time capitalizing on the benefits of pulling from extensively analyzed open data sources including other users' 'radio channels' or 'favorites playlists')... in order to find statistically.probable matches for a users interest.. I hope that makes sense, if not or for a perhaps better explanation, the wording is probably more technically savvy, concise or succinct as found on the prospective apps' alternativeto.com page.

*Note: each app has two pages/tabs: one for alternative apps (with filters for e.g. Android, Open-Source, etxc) on the '[App Name] Alternatives' page/tab, and another containing said '[App Name]'s' Information, Reviews, Links, etc. A difference between the two is, in addition or as opposed to the '[App Name] Information, Reviews,...' page/tab, the '[App Name] Alternatives' page/tab has a place beneath each Alternative App where users can mention what is different between the two respective alternative apps, pros/cons, whether the respective alternative app is a good alternative and reasons why or why not...)

Regarding the apps I fohnd that may be of relevance, the notes I took for further investigation are as follows (I hope it's okay to include this potentially long-ish list.. if not, my apologies Also, some may beore relevant than others, someay be hardly if at all relevant; I am confident most are relevant from what I recall... it should be easy to tell pretty quickly with a quick skim through both tabs, User Reviews, and Users' Pros/Cons regarding an app as alternative to the other):

Tags (General, each app above may have one or more of these tags/features), separated by commas: Music, Music Streaming Service, music discovery service, Open-Source, decentralized, communities, Internet Radio Service Tags, one per line (separated by 'line breaks''— I think is what the new line separators are called) : Music Music Streaming Service music discovery service subsonic music servers Open-Source decentralized communities Internet Radio Service

+1 This feature would be huge! I know that Nuclear has this feature and it works really well. Maybe check what they're doing right and how? Another way is to somehow hijack Spotify's suggestions, but I have no idea how much their free API allows.

I came here search for Start Radio Feature. Yesterday I observed that its nothing but a playlist in spotify i.e. ${Song name} ${Radio}.

Thus a simple solution would be:
