Song Types

It is possible to categorise and filter songs based on their type.

Available Types

Meelo supports the following song types:

• Original
• Live
• Acoustic
• Remix
• Instrumental
• A Cappella
• Edit
  • Of the original version.
  • If the song is an edit of a remix, it will be categorised as 'Remix'
• Clean
• Demo
• Medley
• Non-Music (e.g. Interviews)

Automated Type Recognition

Meelo can automatically detect the type of songs based on their name.

The detection algorithm is quite naive and leverages commonly-used keyword. For example:

• Sorry (Remix) would be typed as Remix
• Hung Up (Live) would be recognized as a Live rendition
• Let Down Your Guard (Rough Mix) would be defined as Demo
• Toxic (Instrumental) would be an Instrumental
• Sound of the Underground (Instrumental Break Down Mix) would be a Remix

You can find the detection algorithm here.

Setting Type Manually

Users with the admin role can manually set the type of a song.

To do so, open the song's context menu and tap 'Change Song Type'.
