Tangerine beta
The kids at Potion Factory are at it again. Their latest gorgeous app is Tangerine. Tangerine scans your iTunes library (very quickly) and analyzes the beat intensity of your tracks so that you can create playlists based on the intensity of the music (i.e. fast paced songs for working out, and slower songs for when you are pitching woo).At the moment the app is in beta, so it is free for download. If you blog about it you'll get a free license when the app is released.

This will be great when it works. At the moment the BPM's generated are little better than random numbers. Fantastic shop window, but nothing in it.

October 19 2006 at 8:38 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyWhen I download it, it puts a .exe file with some random combo of letters and numbers. I don't know if this is a virus (for PC on a Mac program?). Has any one else found that?

October 19 2006 at 8:17 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyEric - one of the most advanced apps that do beatsensing is Traktor DJ Studio from http://www.native-instruments.com. It does evene integrate with iTunes quite nicely, you will, however, come with a nuke to a gunfight with this one, as it is a fully fledged i/Power/mac/book/pro DJ'ing solution.
That said, I still appreciate this application for analyzing my 7k+ dance songs from my iTunes library overnight and tagging it appropriately, fully auto, nice job. Some false "speedgarage readings" occur from time to time, yet they're quite easy to spot and correct with a good, ol' hand-tapping to the rhythm.
I wonder what it will make of my Berzerker and Dragon Force.
October 19 2006 at 5:10 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyOK - it seems that when it crashed that messed up the analyzing and so, after choosing File > Rechoose iTunes Library it now works. As DukeTogo rightly points out, it doesn't use the BPM and now appears to be working for me fine.
October 19 2006 at 5:03 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyYeah. It really does not do a very accurate job of analyzing BPM. It gave Tom Waits and Kate Bush some of the highest ratings. The ratings in fact look almost random. Really makes it all kind of worthless. I would LOVE to find a program that actually does do a good job of analyzing BPM. Anyone?
