When selecting a specific artist - other rules in the ruleset are ahered to. If you choose to select a specific track - the other rules will be overridden by your choice of track.
Emotive Features™
Think of them as your compass to finding what music you want to hear for that moment in time, they are the key Emotional direction you want to take your playlist in, (or part of your playlist).
In the Edit Track window is it better to choose one Emotive Feature™ or two?
For broader playlists choose one Emotive Feature™ for very focused playlists choose two Emotive Features™, (note this will narrow your search down if you also choose a Genre plus Time Period).
Emotive Feature Exceptions™
If you want to make playlists even broader simply tell the system the Emotive Features™ you don’t want to hear.
Genres
Genres are deliberately broad. For instance if you are looking for Reggaeton it can be found in the Latin Urban genre
Days/Months since release
Days/Months Since Release will override whatever you may have set for Year.
Music Criteria
Search by quality Vocals or Songwriting for example.
Preferred Artist
Use this facility if you want to find the highest quality tracks by a particular artist.
Spefific Artist/Track
If you want to find a specific track for your playlist then search by Preferred Artist then use the Magnifier to find the particular track. You will see a padlock on the Track Block for that track – this means the track is locked and won’t update in the same way as others when selected. Delete the artist in the Edit Window in order to return to the original rules and remove the padlock.
Select By
Use Standard Order, Random, Most Recent Year or Less Known to order your playlist in different ways. Standard Order is the default setting. Use Less Known for diving deeper into the dataset.
