Why filters matter more than luck in GuessBeat
People blame RNG when a room over-filters into a tiny preview pool. Understanding filters makes nights smoother.
What filters actually do
Filters steer search and selection toward eras, genres, moods, regions, artists, and albums. They do not invent previews that catalogs lack. The intersection of your chips must still map to tracks with short previews.
Over-filtering symptoms
- Repeated songs despite anti-repeat logic.
- More fallback clips.
- Longer waits before rounds start.
Healthy patterns
Combine one or two eras with one mood, or a genre with a region — not every chip at once. Use custom artists as seasoning, not the entire meal.
