"This week the Roxio company introduces the Boom Box, a $50 suite of iPod applications that includes a DJ program called MusicMagic Mixer. Originally offered on the Internet, the Mixer is designed specifically to create mood-appropriate yet illuminating combinations of music from your own collection. Its method, according to software architect Wendell Hicken, is to analyze the digital files that store the acoustic information that tells your music player what sound to produce. For instance, by recognizing the bits that encode a drumbeat, the program can divine the volume, tempo and energy of a tune. What's more, by digitally decoding all songs in the same way, it's possible to find hidden affinities between unexpected tunes. Click on above blue line to get all the info." [
