Mufin Launches iTunes Playlist Plug-in for Mac, Adds Full Video Playlist Functions to Website

May 27, 2009 - PRLog -- Berlin - Mufin has been busy cooking up fresh new features to complement its unique sound-based music player and recommendation engine. The new features — which include a Mac version of mufin for iTunes and full YouTube video integration on mufin.com — extend the offering of mufin’s advanced music recommendation technology. These updates provide music lovers with an even better experience for discovering, enjoying, and managing new music.

Mufin’s unique technology ‘knows’ the sound of a user’s music collection and uses each song’s unique sounds to create playlists and recommend music. Unlike other playlist generators that rely on metadata or an artist's popularity, mufin’s playlist and recommendation technology is based on the music itself – so even self-produced music can be used to inspire a new playlist. iTunes users on the PC have already been enjoying mufin for iTunes to create playlists that perfectly match their mood and uncover hidden gems by crossing genres, regions, and eras. And unlike Apple’s Genius, no personal data about their library will be sent to mufin. Now iTunes users on the Mac can enjoy the same one-click playlist creation. PC users will receive an update to match the improved performance of the new Mac version.

Additional YouTube integration allows users to play music videos directly on www.mufin.com, as well as create playlists from these videos. Users can discover new videos using mufin’s unique music recommendation engine, and further personalize recommendations using a new rating system.

To learn more about these new features and download the free mufin for iTunes plug-in, simply visit http://www.mufin.com. You’ll be ready to discover great new music and find the right tracks in a flash.
