alt Hacker NewsWho would even DJ on classical music?
If you have the slightest knowledge of classical music you would know it should not be mixed like in a dj set, and you would not optimize your dj algorithm for it.

I think you could pick out a movement from this and then a movement from that. I can see somebody wanting to have classical music playing all day without having to pick out specific tracks, like listening to the radio.
I think it is totally reasonable to want something that plays all movements from one work, then finds similar works to play after that.
Sure, that might not be what a DJ algorithm is optimized for, but a more generalized AI like an llm should be able to figure that out.
And then we have artists such as Gas who famously mixed classical with dub techno.

Yet the computer program happily tried to do it anyway. It would be much better to fail with a clear error message than to try to proceed and emit garbage.
Deodado?
Why would you even have a classical music station? What is public radio even doing?
