Sort Your Music

One of my more popular web apps, Sort Your Music gets an update that lets you optimize the artist order in your playlist.

Sort Your Music is a web app that lets you re-order the tracks in your playlists by a number of different attributes including:

• release date

• temp (beats per minute)

• energy

• danceability

• Loudness

• Valence

• Duration

• Acousticness

• Popularity

• Randomness

Today, I’ve updated Sort Your Music to include ordering a playlist to evenly distribute artists throughout the playlist. This is useful if you want to avoid having your artists bunched up in clumps in your playlist. To optimize the artist separation click on the A.Sep column, and the playlist will be ordered to keep tracks by the same artists apart from each other.

For example, if you look at todays “Top Songs - USA” it is has lots of songs by Drake and by Taylor Swift. Using the artist separation sort, we can make a new version of the playlist that more evenly distributes Drake and tSwift throughout the playlist.

Give Sort Your Music a try and let me know how it works for you.
