Description:
 MusicExplorer is the new way to generate
intelligent dynamic Playlists.

Imagine all songs you have as points in space,
where similar songs lie near to each other. This
script can walk around in this space and generate
smooth playlists (no big jumps in genre for
example).

The script can also act as a DJ. Just add the
songs you definitly want to hear to the playlist
and the script will automaticly reorder them and
add some more songs in between such that you get
nice transitions between your songs.

The first time you start, the plugin will download
the coordinates for all your songs from
MusicExplorer.org (poor page atm), which might
take some time. You definitly want to read the FAQ
that comes with this script.

Keep in mind that this is an alpha release: There
are still a some API functions needed in order to
finish this. If you are a developer, take a look
at the TODO list. :)

Changelog:
 [b]alpha 1.2:[/b]
- added functionality to avoid songs
- corrected startup error msg

[b]alpha 1.1:[/b]
what should work:
- download of the MusicExplorer coordinates
(fixed)
- generate dynamic playlists according to
configuration

what might work:
- adding fixed songs manually to the playlist

what will definitly not work:
- removing songs/changing order will likely
corrupt the script -> restart it
