Plugin for detecting similar song tracks

[khf620]

I'm interested in building a plugin for detecting similar song tracks similar to Plex's Super Sonic (https://www.plex.tv/blog/super-sonic-get...n-plexamp/). A plugin like this would be great for discovering new music from within your own library.

I imagine using something similar to Shazam's algorithm would work wonders for this type of thing: https://medium.com/@anaharris/how-does-s...8f74e41359

Interested to hear if there are better ways to accomplish something this.

Hey, that sounds like a really cool idea! I'm very interested in how you intend to accomplish that (I don't know much about music, personally).

I went over the Plex article, but they didn't really specify how they created this "Sonic similarity" - The ideas used for the Shazam algorithm do sound promising, however, I imagine that there could be some unwanted side effects (with bad matches).

I have also tried before to determine similar songs based solely on the track itself but found that task to be rather challenging (and the scientific literature was not very good, at least from what I could find).

Likewise, I've also tried to implement a way to discover new music from within your library but using Playback data as well as metadata - so a lot simpler here: https://github.com/Eeeeelias/jellyfin-sc...n_music.py and not really a plugin (so far).

Additionally, Plex uses some (probably simple) neural network to actually recommend the music to you. Would you want to add that as well?
