The good thing with DSTM, especially with Spotty is, that the
recommendations are based on the previous song, I don't want a song of a
completely different genre breaking the flow. Would there be an option
to regenerate the random mix based on the last added song?

Also, I have looked into the sourcecode of the Spotty DSTM plugin
(https://github.com/michaelherger/Spotty-Plugin/blob/master/DontStopTheMusic.pm)
and in line 37 it sets the seed limit to 25 which is what I presume the
amount of songs added to the DSTM mix because that is the amount of
songs that I get in my playlist once it has ended. I have never compiled
any plugins myself so I'll have to look into how I could make changes to
the plugin and re-compile it. But do you think that there is any reason
why I could not decrease the limit?
