Custom tags/ratings/tag songs and then create dynamic playlists

It would be great if you could tag songs with your own categories and then use those to generate a playlist based on those tags. For example if you had tagged songs previously in your library you could then tell Deezer to generate a playlist based on the tags ‘happy’ ‘rock’ and ‘party’ and it would put together a playlist of all the songs with those tags. It could then use tags assigned by other users matching the ones you’ve used to suggest similar songs you might like based on those tags

    I think this is sort of what I really want as a feature in Deezer. My idea is inspired by “smart playlists” in the old Windows Media Player where you could rate your MP3´s with stars and generate playlists based on criterias.

     

    Ex. :

    One want a playlist that comprise tracks with at least a 4 star rating.

     

    The whole idea could be labelled as “programmatic playerlist generation”.

     

    I want to divest from the origin way to create a playlist where users click on a specific track and adds it to a playlist. Instead I want a more programmatic way where the user creates a playlist based on several criterias.

     

    An example:

     

    I want a playlist that takes {number} tracks from each  of the following {albums/playlists}: item1, item2,item3,item4

    I want them sorted {alphabetically, random, some custom sorting}

    All of the tracks must {be at least 4 star rated, be at least 3 bar popular, etc..}

     

    And so on. You could also add more criterias like genre constraints and track length constraints. 

     

    In that way I am able to alter the playlist without having to remove one or several tracks by clicking and selecting them. If I don’t want a specific album or playlist, I just removing them from the playlist generator page.

     

    All this is as mentioned before, inspired by Smart Playlist found in Windows Media Player which I really misses. It was brilliant.
