Thanks but maybe I’m a bit slow, how does that work?
Say I use mplayer
or aplay
to play from my local ~/Music/
directory, or even VLC to play from my minidlna server on my RaspberryPi. Say I play a tune named tune.ogg
which has metadata saying “Tsunami” by the artist “R3HAB” and it ends. How could my player then pick the next song, from my library or elsewhere, not randomly but rather because it’s related somehow to this song?

Oh, I took your original question more generically. You can use last.fm to provide you with recommendations in general according to what you listen to (after scrobbling your library for a while), but acquiring the recommendations (and/or integrating into your active playlist) is a whole other thing. I’m sure it’s possible but I don’t know of out of the box way. Might be a plugin or something out there for it somewhere. That’s why the convenience of streaming can be pretty nice.
