OpenSubsonic
In the original Subsonic, the specification for getSimilarSongs2 implies that it should be used instead of this endpoint if the client and/or server organizes by ID3 tags.
For OpenSubsonic servers, getSimilarSongs may be used instead of getSimilarSongs2 when organizing by ID3 tags, and there are no differences in results returned when using artist IDs.
Example
http://your-server/rest/getSimilarSongs.view?id=123&u=demo&p=demo&v=1.13.0&c=AwesomeClientName&f=jsonResult
A subsonic-response element with a nested similarSongs element on success.
