Passive-aggressive playlisting

On Friday evening at the Tufts hack I made a little Python script that makes playlists with an acrostic messages embedded in them. I enjoyed the hack so much that I spent a few hours turning it into a web app. This means that you don't have to be a Pythonista to generate your own acrostic playlists. The app, called Acrostic Playlist Maker, lets you select from a handful of genres and type in your 'secret' message.

When you hit the button it will generate a playlist where the first letter of each song in the playlist spells out the message.

You can listen to the music in the playlist by clicking on any song, and you can save the playlist back to Rdio.

Anyone who works in music tech has probably been called upon to 'do the music' at some social event. Now with the Acrostic Playlist Maker you can can make those playlists, while secretly expressing how you really feel.
