Ideas for an intelligent MP3 player : Don’t expect it from Apple

Posted by on Nov 7, 2008 in Default | 1 comment

Don’t you love it when you’re listening to your music – whether it’s in the car, when walking around, or on a run – and the perfect song comes on. I was at the Gym yesterday and twice the perfect song came on; Rabba (Techno Mix) from Musafir when I was on the treadmill. Perfect because it starts off slow for a slower pace on the treadmill and then builds up to a high BPM track ideal for running and building up your heart rate. Secondly, as soon as I stepped out of the gym, the Norwegian Recycling mashup 8 Become 1 came on which if you listen to is perfect to chill you out a bit, perfect for a walk back home in chilly weather.

This got me thinking what if we had mp3 players that would play and/or recommend music intelligently. Music could be played either from a defined playlist, the entire library or even online libraries. Maybe even from last.fm. The track selection could be based on a variety of factors.
