Rhythmbox plugin to recommend music from user's collection

[ssssam]

I'd like a plugin that gives a 'similar artists' and 'similar albums' results based on the track currently playing.

This would draw on external data such as:

• last.fm tags from cpe lastfm
• last.fm 'related artists' info

Spotify also provides 'related artists' but we must authenticate with the Spotify API for this info, which Rhythmbox so far doesn't do.

This could possibly be implemented in the Rhythmbox last.fm plugin, although that code is in C and is part of Rhythmbox core.

Maybe implement this as a web app first, then embed it into Rhythmbox. It'd make a good web app too.

This could also create playlists based on the current playing song
