How is "Focus on Similar" supposed to work?

[bbrip]

I am probably just too stupid to figure this out:

When I have selected an Album, I can press “Focus on similar”. When I do this, in my example a contemporary symphony by composer Hans Werner Henze, I get a “suggestion list” that contains about 20% of my whole library and “proposes” anything from “popular tenor arias” to Bruckner symphonies to Mahler Lieder to Tony Banks…

How is this supposed to help me “focussing” on something similar, ie another symphony from that composer or a composer from the same period. etc. etc.

Any help orr advise is much appreciated.

Focus - would be great to have the default focus a little tighter - like your 'Similar To', 'Influenced' and "Followed' lists

I love your ‘Similar To’, ‘Influenced’ and "Followed’ lists when browsing an artist. I’ve discovered quit a bit of new music through this, and in general from my limited experience so far, it seems quite tightly related and will often pull in something similar that I like. (Incidentally would be interested to know where these lists come from) However, when I select an album in my library and select ‘Focus on similar’ there, it selects a huge chuck of my collection - I assume this is using some…

… later followed by:

"Focus on Similar"

… ehm… cough-cough… [38] not a single baroque opera (nor in any of the following “pages”) and there are more than a few in my library (not to mention on Qobuz) some “interesting” suggestions, though looks it needs a brain upgrade for Classical thanks

Thanks. To summarise those posts: It’s a gimmick that has been around since 4 years or so but is really pretty much useless.

It that case, maybe we can have a “feature-removal-request”. Or even better, get this to work in some meaningful way - by using artificial intelligence maybe?

I am stunned.
