Intelligent Playlist 0.2.0

This plugin provides dynamic playlists for Amarok that are based on a similarity calculation instead on a set of rules as Amaroks own are.<br /><br /><br />You start by dropping some tracks into the playlist and the plugin will try to fetch similar tracks from your local collection that fit in.<br /><br /><br />The plugin is customizeable, so you can fit it your needs (and the state of your collection). It also provides learning, so by giving it feedback you can also align it to your personal profile.<br /><br />The Intelligent Playlist plugin functions by dropping just some tracks into an initial playlist.<br /><br />Developer comments<br /><br />A short warning beforehand: I have written this script for an Artificial Intelligence lecture at my university. Thus, its main goal is to apply some typical algorithms and ideas from AI in a real-life software project. If you are seeking for something to integrate typical "Similar Artists" functionality provided by online services, you are better off with Amarok's Dynamic Playlists (and some custom biases) or something like this:<br /><br />http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/AutoPlaylist?content=120476<br /><br />The Intelligent Playlist plugin functions by dropping just some tracks into an initial playlist. Turn the plugin on and hit the play button. The plugin will then try to find similar tracks from your local collection. So, beneath of using a similarity comparison instead of a given (a-priory) set of rules ("biases") it shall not distinguish too much in how it presents itself to the user compared to Amarok's Dynamic Playlists.<br /><br />For a detailed description, please have a look at the projects homepage.<br /><br />Please note, that this is currently rarely tested. This means: It might work for your music flavor and collection or not. I have made pretty good experience, but I cannot guarantee that this will apply to everyone else. So, feedback and further suggestions about how to improve the plugin are very welcome.
