MOTS, play queues and favourites

You can decide the playback order of your music, or let the music

system generate a MOTS play queue for you. The last track you
add to your play queue always serves as a MOTS ‘seed’.

The idea of MOTS is that you ‘plant a seed’ by selecting a track, and this seed will then grow into a list

of similar music. Once you start playing a track, it will continue to play similar music.

To generate a MOTS play queue, the music system always uses the last added track in the play queue.
