The Filter 2.2.1 - Pick Clean

The Filter is the ultimate music recommendation service: it will create great playlists from your iTunes library, according to a couple of seed tracks you select; it can make these playlists according to your mood or your activity (the commute, the gym) and can update them daily to your iPod; and not content with recommending music from your own library, it will use its finely tuned analysis of your musical taste to recommend new music it thinks you will like.

The Filter is very easy to use. Simply download the free software, highlight one or two songs that typify what you want to listen to from your iTunes library and The Filter will generate a playlist for you (ideally you need to have over 500 tracks in your library to get the full benefit of The Filter). It saves hours of your time and will rekindle a love of your music collection. Even the most dedicated music junkie won’t be able to resist the temptation - great playlists within a matter of clicks.

And The Filter is intuitive. It works by scanning your library, using Artificial Intelligence. It is like a living brain, learning what you like to listen to by analysing your music tastes and cross-referencing with those of other users and musical trends. So the more you use The Filter, the better it gets at judging your tastes and the better its recommendations become.
