Jason Freeman, a music professor at Georgia Tech, has created a Java program which allows users to create short audio signatures of their iTunes music libraries. What started as a conceptual art project has turned into yet another wildfire web-meme and blogospherical vanity generator.
I do believe this might be one of the coolest and most useless web tools ever. It slices, it dices, it makes unlistenable mp3's! Of course, I couldn't resist the self-indulgent impulse to run my own library through the chop-o-matic. Here's the result: a compressed jaunt through 40 of my top-rated tunes of the moment, spanning the aural spectrum from Lightning Bolt to the Black Eyed Peas to the Extra Action Marching Band (doing my theme song, Fat Sexy Guy.) Metal, drone, dub, progcore, Indonesian pop, and Muppet music...where do I sign up?
You can check the comments for a playlist of the songs the iTSM used for my signature. Eclectic, or just plain schizophrenic crap? You listen, you decide.
