MOTS
MOTS allows you to continuously
listen to similar music. The MOTS
feature measures music similarity
on many different parameters
such as sound, dynamics and
rhythmic aspects, to be able to
generate a ‘play queue’ of similar
tracks to be played.
MOTS makes it convenient to
find music for a certain situation,
or to just start playing. You only
need to pick one song, and then
MOTS automatically creates a list
of similar music.
MOTS uses the music source currently
selected to generate a play queue.
MOTS uses only one source at the time.
Note MOTS play queues can only be
generated from the internal hard disk or a
connected NAS.
MOTS calculations
MOTS calculations are based on sound,
dynamics, and rhythmic aspects and
searches across parameters such as artist,
album and genre. MOTS uses the last added
track of a play queue to auto-generate a
sequence of similar tracks, which is added to
the already existing content of the play
queue. MOTS is disabled if the only content
of the play queue is a coloured list.
MOTS calculations are performed on the
music storage while your music system is in
standby. When you add a music storage
either for the first time or after it has been
deactivated, it will require some standby
time to complete MOTS calculations.
For information on how to disable and
enable the MOTS feature, see “Disable
MOTS”.

MOTS analysis
When you have transferred all your
music to the internal hard disk, the
MOTS function needs time to analyse
the music collection before it can
generate a play queue. As a rule the
analysis takes 15 seconds per track.
When a NAS server is used as music
storage, the music on the NAS is also
analysed.
Analysis only takes place while the
system is in standby. Added tracks can
therefore only be part of a MOTS queue
when the product has been in standby
long enough to analyse all tracks.
