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.

Welcome to Jukebox! Jukebox is a place for streaming music. But it's better to think of it as a record collection featuring every album you love. Curate it however you like: Moods. Genres. Hidden gems. Eras of music. Old favourites, and new ones too. All your music, in its right place. Search for albums, EPs, or playlists and add them to a Vibe. Any time you want to put something on, come back here, and find the exact Vibe you're looking for (or pick something at random from your library!). Get inspired by your friends' picks. Borrow their vibes, and make them your own. The music you've loved deserves to be heard again, even when it's not "new" anymore.
