You can disable it in the administration settings. +__Note__: the recommendation engine supports two modes: +* **Tag-based**: uses metadata tags `genre` and `grouping`. +* **Audio similarity**: uses MusicNN embeddings. Extracting embeddings takes roughly 10× longer than regular file metadata parsing. To speed up extraction, consider tweaking `scanner-thread-count` in `lms.conf` (defaults to half the number of logical CPUs). ## About tags _LMS_ primarily relies on tags to organize your music collection but also supports browsing by directory using the [Subsonic/OpenSubsonic API](SUBSONIC.md).
