[Link] Turn Your iTunes Library into a Sonic Signature

- http://www.jasonfreeman.net/itsm/ -

"Jason Freeman, a professor and musician from Georgia Tech, wrote a Java application which scans your iTunes library and creates your own "signature" out of small audio samples from your songs. From reading his technical docs, it's more sophisticated than you'd think -- the program finds your most played songs and then uses an FFT to merge spectrally similar audio, mixing down your audio smoother than a baby's bottom.

It takes a little while to render and you have to sign a Java security license, but the results are brilliant! Our music collections can pretty accurately describe who we are and the ITSM does an amazing job at boiling me down to 47 seconds of glory."

yeah, pretty cool. thx.

Looks like a very interesting concept. Definately worth a shot. Anyone care to post their sonic signature?

#352306

sure, I will.

lets see i did it a while ago, and it scares the hell out of me, and I think it was done with an outdated library file too.. link

So, I just did a new one. link

Still scary, but it fits me better. (by the way, it does contain swearing..)

This would fit in really well with the fav albums thread that was going around a while ago.

Unfortunalty after reinstalling windows I don't have playcounts that are representative of my actual listening pattern so I hope the result won't be skewed.

On an semi-related note- does the ipod sync playcounts when connected?

Pretty much like aleph, I have lost all my play count and ratings. Having said that, this isn't too bad although it has a few songs that I enjoy but have only listened to maybe 2-3 times :slant:

I think I fail because they're almost all from the same artist. Bonus points of you can name that artist
