  • MusicIP automatic playlist generator

    Filed under: ,

    In comments to our recent post on The Filter, several TUAW readers suggested I check out the MusicIP Mixer. Like The Filter, the MusicIP mixer creates playlists based on the mood or style of several songs that you feed it with (i.e. you select several songs and then hit the mix button to create a mix or playlist based on those songs). Unlike The Filter, which does its magic by sending song titles to a remote server, the MusicIP Mixer actually does an acoustic fingerprint analysis on your own computer, which can take quite a while. On my moderately sized 4000+ track iTunes library it took nearly 2 days to finish (thought there were some breaks in the time)! Also the MusicIP Mixer does not seem to be as integrated with iTunes as The Filter, rather having you use its own interface for selecting and controlling your music. As far as the quality of the mixes go, I haven't played with it enough to compare them, but both MusicIP Mixer and The Filter have created enjoyable playlists. Between the two, I moderately prefer The Filter for its better iTunes integration, but I know there were a lot of folks out there who didn't like it, so they might want to give the MusicIP Mixer a shot.

    MusicIP Mixer comes in two versions: a free version with the basic feature set and a Pro version for $19.95 that adds more features.
