Soundflavor for iTunes
The folks at SoundFlavor (formerly Siren Systems), have released the SoundFlavor DJ,
which is a 'personal DJ that automatically selects and plays songs from
your library based on your personal tastes and the music that your
listening to.
Soundflavor uses a combination of collaborative filtering, lyrics and music content to find music similarity. I don't believe that they do any kind of automatic analysis of the content, instead they perform a light-weight labelling of the music (like what mood logic used to do).
The SoundFlavor folks put a lot of effort into the design of this app. They've been working with Adaptive Path, the user experience experts, to make a program that is simple to use.
The system looks nice based on the screenshots, but since it is a Windows-only version, I have no means to try it out to see how well it works. I await the mac version.
