Music Signature

"What type of music do you like?"

"Oh.. all kinds."

"Bullshit."

This is how, or at least how most conversations about music SHOULD go. Everyone says all kinds. But they dont mean experimental Jazz fusion, country, big band, crunk rap, folk, swing, emo, techno and bengali belly-dance music. They mean, they have thre or four types that their music is in, with several sub types, but they like to pretend they like everything.

How to solve theis quandry? How about a clip from your most played or highest rated songs, all mashed together? This could tell soemeone what you listen to, right? Well, it does.

The iTunes Signature Maker is a cool little web app that looks through your iTunes, take snips of some of your fav songs, and makes a little mashup of your own stuff.

I found it to be a little random. It got some songs from duplicate artists, which doesnt bother me, but the artists it duped aren't nessesarily my favs. But, overall, i like the clip it made.

You can hear my clip here.

Listen before you look at the breakdown, and see what you can recognize. It was tough for me, but i hear most of them, now that I look at the list.

Again, this list was randomly generated by the program, not picked by me.
