Cool Hunting
Joining the family of iTunes plug-ins, The Filter is a free program that works like your own personal DJ by automatically creating playlists from your library and syncing them to your iPod with just a few clicks.
Selecting a few songs directs the program to analyze your picks, scan your library and generate a mood-matching mix. The time-saver will even compile data on your musical tastes to recommend new music it thinks you might like.
I've only been using Filter for a short while but find it perfect for the gym as well as bedtime mixes and has also uncovered old music that I forgot about. Available for Mac, Windows and select Nokia mp3-enabled phones, it is available for download here.

The result is a collection of new faves and old jams, both up-tempo and down, to get you through the leap year. Magnetic Fields: Distortion The first album from...
One-upping most other iTunes enhancers, Moody does a better job of creating playlists by basing them on mood. A Crayon Room creation, it's a more accurate way to predict what you want to hear across all types of music and creates a streamlined, consistent shuffle. Using a clever, color-coded tagging system, Moody filters songs according to your mood input. You can even customize your...
