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.

Your taste was never one genre. Your music app shouldn’t act like it is. Multimix turns Apple Music into a live genre mixer built around you. Combine curated stations with your own playlists, albums, and artists. Give every source its own weight. Press play and hear something no single station could create on its own. Country with hip-hop. Rock with dance. Pop with alternative. A touch of soul, a lot of bass, or all of it at once. There are no wrong combinations. Just your mix. BUILD A SOUND THAT IS ACTUALLY YOURS • Start with 61 curated stations spanning the genres you love • Add playlists, albums, and artists from your Apple Music library • Control exactly how much of every source makes the mix • Name, save, and share mixes built around your taste TUNE IT WHILE IT PLAYS • Push any genre up, down, or out without stopping the music • Undo live adjustments or reset to your saved blend • Save named variations for every version of the mood • Keep listening when a source is temporarily unavailable without changing the mix you saved DISCOVERY WITH A MEMORY • See what played, where it came from, and which mix surfaced it • Search your listening history by song, artist, station, or mix • Favorite the songs and stations you want to keep close • Block a song or ask for less of an artist without quietly changing your genre balance Multimix isn’t another playlist generator. It’s your own radio dial, rebuilt for a taste too big for one genre. The rules are yours. Mix accordingly. Multimix is free to use. An active Apple Music subscription and Apple Music access are required for playback.
