Mufin inside – Music discovery powered by Fraunhofer
Black holes in a multi-gigabyte collection on hard disk or players can be filled in using integrated Mufin technology which has been developed in cooperation with the Fraunhofer IDMT. Based on sound analysis of one or multiple music pieces, similar titles are recommended and automatically compiled in a playlist. Further settings like playlist length allow music recommendation by Mufin to be used with MP3 Maker’s comfortable playback options. For example, songs can be arranged automatically according to beats per minute and mixed into one another in DJ mode.
It’s especially a lot of fun to use the intuitive discovery feature on your own music collection with “Mufin Vision”. This integrated function displays the music collection as a star chart or landscape of spheres. The individual tracks in the database are arranged on the chart according to their individual sound characteristics or rhythm and instrument density. Traveling through this unique sonic universe to discover the most distant musical galaxies at light speed only requires a few clicks, and such an easy overview of umpteen gigabytes of music makes you want more! That’s why MAGIX MP3 Maker 14 includes a list of preset radio stations which has been stocked up from 1000 to 4000 broadcasters, and it offers comfortable (Internet) recording and editing functions for uncomplicated expansion of your music collection.
