About

Genius Plus

Read full description

Genius Plus brings smart music discovery to your local library. It analyzes tempo (BPM), key & chroma, spectral centroid, and energy to create a compact feature vector for each track. Using a high‑performance approximate nearest neighbor index (HNSW), it finds sonically similar songs and builds seamless playlists and radio stations; on your device, privately. Tune the “feel” of your playlists in Settings. Emphasize chroma/key, tempo, or energy; enable dimensionality reduction (PCA) and optional quantization to reduce storage. Batch‑process your library, browse song details, and start a radio stream from any seed track.
