The Filter iTunes assistant available

Thanks all for the comments on The Filter application. I would like to appologise to those readers who tried to login/register this weekend, as we we experiencing some load-related issues on our backend server over the weekend. Ops and Dev guys had it fixed early Sunday, so I hope those who experienced problems would try to login/register again as the service is back to normal now.

It is slow, crashes all the time, does not do what it is supposed to, and the interface is confusiing as hell.

James Smythe - I'm not sure why there are registration problems, but I had no problems. I'll admit the UI is very cluttered but there is really only one button you would want to use anyway. The "F". I think the problem is, is that it was ported over from a Windows application. I read the Privacy Policy (gasp!) seems pretty standard, but then again I have poor comprehension skills.

yea, Music IP mixer has been around for a while. I've been using The Filter and don't particularly enjoy it. Hard to use.

No one has mentioned that one big problem with services like this one -- Privacy.

You will be sending to who-knows-who the complete list of the music in your iTunes library. I would make sure you read the Privacy Policy carefully before you decide to use this service.

I don't understand why people are having so many problems. I was able to use The Filter without registering at all (as Guest) and it generated playlists just fine in iTunes.

I have to disagree, Spaceman Spliff. The program seems fundamentally broken, registration issues, awesomely slow, doesn't function as it should, doesn't create the playlists properly... Heck, even the traffic light buttons are oddly placed, with different sized spaces between them! Great idea - I love anything that can (allegedly) make me a playlist based on tempo and mood - but this isn't that program, unfortunately.

This program is fantastic. It is very accurate and basically picks songs off of your mood. Highly recommended.

this program is awful. it would not let me register either as i do not have a number in my email address. on top of that after selecting 3 tracks and hitting the F button all it does is make a playlist with those 3 tracks. Thumbs Down. Wait for the RC.

I had a similar problem registering this program. My email is not long enough for it. My email is fine for the million other things I use it for everyday. But not this program.
