Mufin Player
Mufin player is a new music player, that is built to serve as a desktop tool for accessing Muffin’s music discovery engine apart from being a music organizer and player. Like any jukebox application you can organize your music by artist, rating or genre.
But what makes it stand apart from other jukebox software is it’s ability to identify music tones and organize your collection based on how they sound.
Mufin’s unique music identification engine helps you discover new music that matches your personal tastes. Just select a track in your music collection, and the Mufin player will search mufin.com for similar tracks.
You can click on the recommended tracks and listen to a 30 sec preview, and if you like it you can either buy or download, whichever option is available. Mufin identifies music by analyzing the rhythm, tempo, sound density or instrumentation and matching them with these properties of other music tracks.
Unfortunately, if you listen to music from smaller bands the player might not be able to recognize those. Sometimes, even music popular bands returns zero results.
But the best feature is not online music discovery but searching music from within your own collection. Mufin can match similar sounding music in your collection and help them to sort them out by their tunes.
The Mufin recommended songs might not be from the same artist or of the same genre, but the matches are pretty good. Mufin has helped me re-discover music that I had in my forgotten collection.
In fact, I realised I have lots of good music from independent bands released under Creative Commons that I had downloaded a long time ago but never really listened to it, save for a few songs.
