Tangerine for iTunes
I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time. Back when I was DJ-ing in college, we used to categorize songs into up (fast), medium, and down (slow). We did that because we thought back-to-back slow songs was going to turn users off. So we had this basic pattern (UMDUM) between commercials.
When I shuffle iTunes music by genre, for example, there’s no analysis of the upness or downness of songs. Wouldn’t it be cool if I could pick songs by tempo or heaviness of beat?
Enter Tangerine from Potion Factory. It quickly analyzes your iTunes library and notes beats per minute and beat intensity. You can then pick songs and export those playlists back to iTunes. Slick!
It’s a beta now, so it’s free to download. Send in a bug report or blog about it and they’ll send you a license when it is released. Very nice. AND, they have the coolest icon EVER!
