Improve 'Radio Mode' Algorithm #7

MeoMix commented 12 years ago

SongBuzz currently supports 'Radio Mode' as an option under settings.

We should consider if this is an option that should be toggled on/off through the settings menu. Perhaps it should be displayed in the GUI at all times, though, like the shuffle button. I do not believe people shuffle their music as much as they would turn 'Radio Mode' on and off.

Currently, this is how 'Radio Mode' works:

This allows for a very simplistic, evolving related videos structure. However, there are some issues which need to be addressed.

Another note for weighting of music -- suggested videos of suggested videos tend to be poorer than the first query's collection. Each iteration of suggested videos should be more difficult to random into, but this chance should not be 0%.
