OK.. I have SO running.
One question, I suspect the answer is no, but..
Can SO search specific (sub)genre’s themselves? Example: I created a sub(sub?)genre playlist in Aurender Conductor-connected to Qobuz in this order
1) Clear/delete all previously played tracks in Conductor queue.
2) Load Stanley Turrentine’s album Blue Hour (this album is blues flavored traditional jazz) and listened to it (great album btw).
3) Once the album had played Conductor/Qobuz continued playing by filling in tracks of similar, blues flavored traditional jazz. See the playlist "Jazzmen Playin Blues2" on Qobuz.
4) The music selections were terrific(!) and I looked to see if there was a way to save them beyond manually looking them up and creating a playlist. Fortunately, Conductor has an option to create either a Conductor-specific (stored locally) or Qobuz playlist from tracks in the queue of what has been played.
So the result was an extensive blues flavored traditional jazz playlist. I discovered 2-3 dozen great albums from this experience. Many of the albums were bluesy albums by artists that spent much-most of their careers playing jazz in their particular style, but not necessarily blues influence jazz. Take Turrentine for example. He played his style of jazz, which occasionally included jazz with a heavy blues influence, but not all the time.
OK..now when I enter Stanley Turrentine into SO and create a playlist, I receive a playlist with many similar artists playing jazz that is somewhat similar to the "average" (sorry..but the word works in this context) Turrentine sound.
Can SO create a non-specific artist playlist that is comprised of a sub-style of music itself, again, for example, traditional jazz with a moderate to heavy blues influence? I suspect not, though maybe this is a potential future development for SO?
