Music discovery

LMS provides several ways to help you find the music you like:

  • Tag-based filters (ex: "Rock", "Metal and Aggressive", "Electronic and Relaxed", ...)
  • Recommendations for similar artists and albums
  • Radio mode, with endless filling of the play queue with tracks similar to what is there
  • Searches in album, artist and track names (including sort names)
  • Starred Albums/Artists/Tracks
  • Random/Starred/Most played/Recently played/Recently added for Artist/Albums/Tracks, allowing you to search for things like:
    • Recently added Electronic artists
    • Random Metal and Aggressive albums
    • Most played Relaxed tracks
    • Starred Jazz albums
    • ...

Note: depending on your database size and/or your hardware, the tag-based recommendation engine may significantly slow down the user interface. You can disable it in the administration settings.

About tags

LMS relies exclusively on tags to organize your music collection.

Filtering

It is possible to apply global filters on your collection using genre, mood, grouping and language tags. More tags can be added in the database administration settings, even custom tags.

Note: you can use the lms-metadata tool to have an idea of the tags parsed by LMS using TagLib.

Multiple album artists

LMS requires the albumartists and albumartistssort tags to properly handle multiple album artists on the same album. As they are a custom tags, you may need to setup your favorite tagger to add them.

Note: if you use Picard, add the following script to include these tags:

$setmulti(albumartists,%_albumartists%)
$setmulti(albumartistssort,%_albumartists_sort%)

Keyboard shortcuts
