Secondly, doing sonic analysis ensures that the similarity reflects the actual music you have.Īlong with this, Plexamp has a new “Related” tab, a new Track + Album Radio feature, as well as “Mixes For You” powered by the new neural net.Īll the new capabilities are included with Plex Media Server 1.24.0 for Plex Pass subscribers. While we are already using metadata for similar artists (and albums as well, although tbh we didn’t get a lot of data for this), needing to rely on metadata has two big downsides: There is a lot of music out there without metadata (think obscure Bandcamp artists or your high school band). The most obvious way the sonic data is useful is for showing similar artists, albums, and tracks. This allows us to see how “close” anything in your library is from anything else, where distance is based on a large number of sonic elements in the audio.Īnd here are the benefits of using sonic analysis: Once you enable Sonic analysis on a music library, all tracks, albums, and artists are processed in order to place them in a Musical Universe (math nerd? This musical universe consists of points in N-dimensional space).

We’ve added a sophisticated neural network which analyzes your music library, powering amazing new features and improving existing ones.
