Sonic Adventure: How to save it as a playlist and more

 




One of the best features of plex and plexamp is the ability to create a smooth audio journey starting with one track and ending with another after an hour or so. You need a server which is able to do a sonic analysis of the tracks in your library and a plex pass to enjoy the feature. 

If you are happy with the journey, you may want to save the track sequence for later which you can do in plexamp by hitting the three dots at the bottom and save the queue as a playlist. 

Or you can create such a playlist right on the server by using a bit of python. This could prove useful, for example, if the two endpoint-tracks are to be determined by certain criteria, such as their genres, certain moods or the date they were added to the library. Here is a link to a script where the user enters the titles of the start and end tracks and has the opportunity to apply filters such as the user rating, the play count or the track genre. Keep in mind that these filters will shorten the resulting playlist, so the outcome very much depends on the size of your library and the filters you apply. If you want the original length of the playlist, leave all filters simply blank.
