I just want an mp3 player to replace my Walkman with sensme, they killed sensme and nothing has replaced it so to date the best mp3 player I own is that little thing, I tell it what mood I am in and it always delivers, I dread the day it dies.

I've tried cloud based music services like Spotify etc they are not really same thing as it's just global playlists for a mood/genre, not something tailored to your tastes in a set catalogue.

I’m impressed!

It is named Omakase Channel in Japan.

The phrase omakase, literally 'I leave it up to you', is most commonly used when dining at Japanese restaurants where the customer leaves it up to the chef to select and serve seasonal specialties.

Hey, would a Spotify playlist analyzer help you?

I've tried them and they were hit and miss, also to make things more niche most of my music is a mix of video game music and film/anime music, which Spotify is quite short on.

Spotify and other services are trying to make you discover new music. While that's useful I just want it to analyse my local music and work out what to play.

Its a shame the tech exists but as its patented (I think) you can't simply make an open source version, I believe really it's just a 2d graph plot against tempo and some other metric derived from analysis.
