How exactly do these work? I read some of the Filter website and didn't really understand. Are they relying on some database that they have on a server somewhere to generate associations between songs, or are they using your tagging somehow? Does it do anything like beat or otherwise flow matching so that the songs transition well? I'm kind of intrigued.
