I don't like Auto DJ because, in my opinion, it puts too much focus on it
being used as a party tool. Sure, they can be used like that, but they can
also be used for other things, like just playing similar songs. "I want to
hear stuff that is like this". And given that it's now possible to extend
the Bias system easily, we could end up with a lot of cool things that
Dynamic Playlists can do that wouldn't be captured by Auto DJ.
