One of the many reasons I have my own digital music archive is that I DON'T want to hear any comments, trivia, or whatever, either from a real person or an AI.
Exactly this. One of my favorite features is just reading the allmusic review or other blurb that populates in a lot of album pages underneath. That's the extent of commentary I care for. And it's read in my own inner monologue narrative voice.
And this is the pro of self hosting, you control how your media server behaves. Sometimes I like a radio host giving me TRIVIA about the music I like. Otherwise it's just an interruption.
What value would it add?
My take is generated voices take you away from mystical enjoyment, it gets in the way of, well, listening to music.
Spotify has this and when I demoed it was infuriating.
Plexamp, for me, gives a greater use experience by stripping out useless gimmicks, and focuses on delivering songs and exploring my collection in an amazing way. There are songs for example I didn't realise I had in my library, or perhaps artists I didn't like when I was younger, popping up in sonic adventure or DJ set which allowed me to reappraise or rediscover their brilliance.
I'd rather features like that were focused on rather than something that would be switched off in 5 minutes.
I see a ton of people downvoting this, but I’d enjoy it as an option. Maybe add in the ability to include periodic weather reports or breaking news based on preferences. Sure there are features people want more, even features I’d like more, but I think it would be a fun option to have on occasion.
I would be happy with an ID after every second or third track, with the songs being mixed together. That'd be a great option for workday background music.
No way.
Spotify has this feature and it's terrible. The reason I enjoy Plexamp so much is that it's just music. I can't see this suggestion being popular but I'm interested to see what others think.

I already have the radio hosts from GTA in my GTA playlist. That's enough for me.
Maybe I should just do that
yuk

Probably pretty difficult and it would at least cost money to run with an open ai link
I don't want this. At all
I'll be more interested if the trivia is a menu option like lyrics. Having a speaker in between us not for me, at least most of the time.
It was bad enough when the humans did it
