So I have submitted all but one of my college apps. And this last one involves a rather nonsensical essay prompt. I mean, truly nonsensical… like it really doesn’t make too much sense. Anywho, I’ve been bored with Pandora, and I needed a new way to discover music, and I came across this site called MusicIP, and it’s pretty amazing. So the “playground” is this cool tool. You search an artist that you like, then click on it and it shows a bunch of albums by the artist, click on an album and it shows the track listings, click on the track listing and it shows you a bunch of songs that are similar to that one. It’s pretty nifty. What’s even cooler is the software that the company created. It’s called the MusicIP Mixer. It syncs with iTunes (and whatever music management software you use) and you use it like iTunes except you click this little button and it creates a playlist of songs from your library that are similar to the one you’re currently listening to. And it works… it’s cool if you have larger music libraries and you’re in the mood for this one song… or one type of song… but you don’t want to search through. It’s pretty amazing… I wouldn’t use it as a normal music management tool though… it’s kind of ugly looking compared to iTunes. But it is quite functional and I love it. What’s rather nice is that if you don’t like the look of MusicIP Mixer cuz it’s plain ugly… you can click the send to button and it sends the playlist created based on the song to iTunes and begins playing it… i love this thing!!
