The.Echonest.com integration

Request a new feature to add to Muso, or vote +1/-1 for anyone else's suggestion. Even just a few votes will get it looked into (just one possibly not).

The.Echonest.com integration

Post by Morbeas »

This would make muso infinitely more entertaining and interesting to use. http://the.echonest.com/ is a music discovery tool at its core and in my opinion, would render muso an invaluable tool in this area.

Best example of it is the excellent Smart Mix plugin for LMS by Michael Herger (how about integrating Smart Mix into the magic wand for example. That'd be awesome!). Highly recommended!

I know there's been some talk about this in the past so I wanted to start a thread for it.

I see it used via the magic wand tool (like the aforementioned magic want integration with Smart Mix) and an expanded "you might also like:" section. You're simply offering new music to people based on different criteria. Did you get a chance to play with the Smart Mix plugin?

I'm constantly looking for new music so this would be a great addition to muso in my opinion.

Also, you can incorporate something like the "Blender" feature from Smart Mix with a few different buttons for hotttness, tempo etc.

Edit: You realize, you don't even need LMS for this. So someone without LMS can also benefit from it.
