Download: The Filter
Posted by Dave
Hello World.
I don’t often feature program downloads on Da Patch, but I have found this one so interesting I just had to mention it.
The Filter is a program / plugin for iTunes (Windows only for now, Mac coming soon) which, according to the website, “creates perfect playlists from your iTunes library”. I don’t know if I’d say perfect, but I will say pretty damn good.
Simply select a track (or a few tracks), and press the big black “F” button, and The Filter will create a playlist from songs in your library based around your selections. The result is a diverse selection of songs that actually seem to go well together much better than iTunes’ built-in shuffle mode. It also learns about your taste as you use it, remembering which tracks you skipped over compared to which you played through, and builds future playlists accordingly.
It’s very useful for making “mood playlists” - for example a playlist for doing work to, or (as I have) one for waking up to.
And no, if you feed Maroon 5 or Panic! At the Disco into it, it will not suddenly make them good.

No wonder you’re a quasi insomniac if you listen to music as you wake up . . . I used to leave TripleJ going all night around about 2003(?) and remember that when my radio died out on me and I stopped listening through my sleep that I was much less stressed in the morning and was less (if possible) irritable.
Music in your sleep does bad things…Not the least of which is that its hard to sleep without it once you’ve become accustomed to it.
