Discovery Engine

A flexible scoring layer uses your listening signals and feedback to shape the queue.

  • Balances similarity with freshness
  • Responds to likes and skips

  • Adapts as your taste shifts

Live Taste Snapshot

Time-of-Day Tuning

Recommendations shift with your listening habits so each session feels right.

  • Late-night vs daytime mood shifts
  • Weekly rhythm awareness
  • Subtle tuning, not hard rules

Start from a Track

Begin with a single song and branch out through similarity, tags, and related artists.

  • Great for quick sessions
  • Works without a Last.fm profile
  • Stays close to the seed track

Underground-First Bias

Pushes lesser-known artists forward so the queue feels fresh, not chart-driven.
