Python code makes any song swing (musicmachinery.com)

The player seems broken for me in all my browsers. Would it kill anyone to post actual music files?

Edit: This is because I had changed my personal settings for Flash in an attempt to disable "Flash cookies" which do not respect private browsing mode and work across all system browsers, and the the SoundCloud player needed my permission to increase its storage. Because the Flash runtime absolutely sucks, it was "rendering" the permissions window "in" the SoundCloud player, but not within its bounding box -- essentially off-screen.

Anybody still want to argue Flash is … anything positive?


The same library has done some other cool stuff.. including "remixing" a James Brown to be 60 minutes long: http://soundcloud.com/teejay/james-brown-forever-60-min-vers...

And mixing between four distinct songs over about 45 seconds: http://soundcloud.com/teejay/capsule-of-the-paliament-to-the...


I cannot overstate how awesome I find the infinite James Brown song.


I want to dig out the code for it - if I can find it - and see if I can make hour long versions of other songs to see how long it takes the Mrs to notice ;-)


Could have some interesting uses for Rhythm games.


I can't resist the urge to click my fingers along to these ;) Great combination of beat detection and timestretching.
