Metadata for Curating Instant Mix / Smart Queue

Support

Issue description:

My wife and I are using Symfonium to stream music from our Navidrome server. Been using it about a week now and are really enjoying the app itself. My question stems from our music collections being pretty different and my wife says she has to end up skipping half the songs that come up.

What metadata (if any) do the instant mix / smart queue features use what deciding what to play next? Are there any tags for the songs that I should make sure are properly set to help curate the song selection? Or is it purely driven on play count and song rating (based on what I’ve read here)?

I figure we should start seeing more and more of the music we each want as time goes, but wanted to see if there was any recommended tagging or such. Worse case I figure we can each use a different provider pointing to separate folders to divide our collections.

For the mixes it uses also ratings and favorite status, playcounts, last played … but be sure to have different accounts since you are connected to the same server, else you’ll have the same data.

Unfortunately Navidrome still does not support multiple libraries so you can’t split your music, but she also can create a smart playlists excluding genre or artists she knows she don’t like and start mix of that.

For the smart queue you actually choose what it uses.
