  Are you referring to genre tags? If so, they’re adding that feature in version 2.8.

  There is also a Don’t Stop The Music feature, however that relies on functionality from the underlying provider.

  The Don’t Stop The Music (DSTM) option can be enabled if a provider is available which supports dynamic tracks (i.e. Apple, Deezer, Spotify, Subsonic, Tidal and YTM). When DSTM is on, radio mode will be automatically enabled when the last track of the queue is reached and if any dynamic tracks can be resolved from one of the providers. The added tracks will be based on the played items in the queue.

    Not exactly referring to that but kinda. We like to add custom tags that we decide for each track and then build playlists from those tags. So a playlist might have a genre tag but also, for example, the tag “relaxing” so a playlist is made up of all songs with those tags (playlist of all songs tagged both with “classical” and “relaxing”).

      So do you have just a bunch of random boolean tags? The Genre tag can hold multiple values, so you could have “Classical;Relaxing;String Quartet;Suites” if you wanted and each is identified separately.

        My wife does the tagging so I don’t know the details. But it’s ID3 tags and she sets a custom “mood” tag. So it might look something like this “genre: classical, instrumental” but another tag “mood: chill; quiet”. Many players don’t recognize this but it originally came from her using musicbee on windows. We do set multiple values in genre but she likes having the separate mood one as well. And we use rating which is another some player ignore. All of these she uses to build smart playlists.
