Thanks for the suggestion of trying psst. It is nice to see some innovation!

Can you explain how you use the recommendation feature? What does it mean to enable one of the checkboxes based on a certain song I like? Will it override the 'liveness' or 'danceability' of original song or emphasize that this aspect is particular important to match to the original song?

Two important things that psst needs to improve is reducing clicks when switching songs and showing album/song icons for each song.

Without having looked at the implementation, I am pretty sure the baseline song recommendations remain ie: if I change those sliders while on the recommended tracks page, it'll apply a filter over all the recommended tracks of the song depending on my input. The results I get are similar in genres/feeling mostly to the root dong, just feeling more in line with my settings.

Again, this is just anecdotal, will have to look at how psst does it to be a 100% sure.
