Both LastFM and Echo Nest have the ability to create playlists based upon the chosen artist.
Reviews have shown these are much better than the google play equivalent.
However - I personnally like google plays visual icon mix ability.
Ordinarily this would be a separate plugin - but Rhythmbox's inability to query music on 32bit O/S without crashing makes this difficult without limiting the potential plugin to 64bit only.
Lets look at whether we can use the data already remembered by the coverart-browser plugin to produce music mix albums.
In google-music you have a mix album icon in the first row in the tile view - single click and the mix plays.
Is this a good way of implementing this? Or should a separate plugin (dependent upon coverart-browser having been started) have an "automatic playlist" type source.

Anyway - echo nest logos & api:
Look at Asermax's lastfm-queue for some inspiration as well
