My god, it's full of songs!
Oh, the beauty!
I’m on the verge of screaming. The thing I’m going to tell you about is that good.
Even though I’ve got 9,165 songs in my library — my collection exploded some months ago when I started donwloading entire discographies (which is a brave new way of listening to music) — I find myself falling into the same old ruts, much to my chagrin, with only the occasional shuffle surprise showing me something unexpectedly good.
Enter Predixis MusicMagic Mixer, a new function of the just launched Winamp 5.21. There are detailed instructions of how to use it here, but it’s all incredibly simple. Basically, after letting MusicMagic acoustically analyze all your library, you can now select any song and ask MusicMagic to generate a list of best-acoustic-match recommendations. It’ll surprise you. This thing is so sufficiently advanced it’s indistinguishable from magic (there’s a beautiful relevant eemadge on the statistical process behind this). I can’t stop using it, I’m looking at my music library as I’d never been able to and, my god, it’s full of wonderful songs!

Hi Eliazar!
My name is Rachel and I’m part of the Predixis team. I’m so glad that you’re enjoying our Mixer plugin for Winamp!Right now we’re working on a lot of things, but one of the big ones is launching a new name and a new brand. So, if you go to our predixis website, you’ll notice that we redirect you to our new MusicIP website.
The product is still the same (though it will only get better as we release new versions with more features and some UI tinkering), the name is all that has changed. If you would like to know more about our full Mixer, or you have ideas or suggestions for how the Winamp plugin could be better for you, please feel free to email me and let me know.Rachel

Hello Rachel!
What a wonderful surprise! You sure were quick to spot my rave review, I’m happy. I wish you could show it to the rest of the Predixis team as my personal thank you to them. I also noticed you added it here—I’m proud, anytime.As for the name change, duly noted, though may I say I preferred the previous one? I found the alliteration amusing and liked its association with magic. Mixer sounds somewhat too generic and uninspiring.
Anyway, best of luck with your fab product!
