About AndroGen
Automated music playlist generation for Android phones and tablets.
What is AndroGen?
AndroGen allows you to automatically generate a music playlist containing tracks in a similar style to the one currently playing, chosen from your own music collection.
AndroGen is in the early stages of development, so it may not do exactly what you want it to do. On the other hand, it works well for me, and I am already using it on a regular basis without any crashes or lockups. All feedback is welcome, and can be sent via the website at http://sites.google.com/site/keithmarshall/androgen.
Who is AndroGen for?
AndroGen will be most useful to people who have a large and varied music collection, and don't always want to decide what to listen to. You may be listening to your music, and think "I'm really enjoying this song, I want to hear some more like this one". That's when you would use AndroGen.

App History & Updates
What's Changed
v0.6.4 - fixed more force-close issues. I've had to add an extra permission (external storage access) to fix one of the close issues, because later versions of Android now require this permission for saving playlists into the media storage database.
There are still problems when switching away and back into the app in Android 4.0 and above.

A year or so ago this was my GOTO app for playlists but it no longer seems to find as much of a mix and I've stopped using it. It's like the database it uses has shrunk by a massive amount and now you just get 3 songs each from 3 similar artists.

I've tried several different approaches, got one 10-song playlist once, and had it crash on me six times in four minutes before I gave up. Is there a fix for this?

It crashes occasionally on my S4, but other than that it's great. Like many others have said, it's the closest to iTunes Genius that you'll get on Android. I wish this would be integrated better with our favorite music players. Would pay to see this seamlessly embedded into PowerAmp

It worked like a charm the first time but crashed. I changed the songs and restarted the phone yet no fix. Hope you get it fixed, then we'll have a working Genius mix on android.

I wish this feature could be built in to some of the Android music players. It's so useful. Love the app.

Great idea, but it needs to be greatly improved in broadening playlists. I want songs that sound similar, but also include songs that are a bit of a surprise factor.

The idea is brilliant it's just unfortunate it keeps crashing on my Galaxy S3. Check it out though because if it works for you it'll be invaluable.

I've been searching for an app that did this for my existing music collection for ages and now I have. This is a very clever app. I am most impressed. Thanks very much. Now I just need to see if I can get my music player of choice to recognise the playlists!

I ran the app on my LG Optimus net and it looked for songs, then looked on my device and crashed. I would love to see development of this app.

It has functionality and good usability, but it acts form. The application force closes as soon as I open it. The first fresh install it worked fine. After I closed the application it started to bug. I can no longer use the application. The first playlist that was made was amazing. Much better than Apple's Genius feature.

Hate to be harsh, but i keep getting 1 song or no similar songs and I've got over 30 gigs of music... UI is a bit short of the kind of functionality i had hoped for as well. Basically it's useless, at least in my case. Moto triumph

This neat little app is the closest thing Android users will get to Genius playlists without having to install a bloated 3rd party music player. Highly recommended!

I tried this on my LG Optimus G. It can't play the music, but at least works as a pseudo genius playlist creator. I like the style and layout a lot, so keep up the good work!

Did get it to generate a decent playlist but it crashed so often on my Samsung S2 that I gave up. Shows promise though if crashes can be sorted
