Community Tool: Emotion-Based Playlist Generator (SenseMe-style) by Sylde

[noisetta]

Hey everyone,

A community member from Head-Fi reached out to share a tool they built that replicates Sony's SenseMe feature for HiBy devices. It's an automatic mood/emotion-based playlist generation from your music library.
The project is called playlistSense and is available here: https://github.com/Sylde/playlistSense

How it works:
eval_to_csv.py — scans your FLAC/WAV files and uses audio feature analysis (tempo, energy, spectral centroid etc.) to classify each track into emotion categories like Happy, Energetic, Relaxed, and so on. Outputs a CSV with scores per file.
csv_to_m3u.py — takes the CSV and generates .m3u playlist files per emotion label with HiBy path formatting already built in (a:).

HiBy setup:
Place the generated .m3u files in a playlist_data directory on your SD card
On the device: Music → Folder Playlist → Load Playlist

Requirements: Python 3.6+, numpy, librosa

Currently supports FLAC and WAV files. Credit to @Sylde for building this and reaching out to share it with the community.

What does everyone think? Is this something worth exploring further, potentially integrating into the PC Database Updater workflow or packaging as a standalone tool alongside the mod?

Would love to hear your thoughts.

This is cool!
What I was thinking is creating an app that contains the database updater, this tool and the unpack/repack firmware tool.
Basically an all in one app.
