myTunes Redux: Rediscover Your Music Library
Overview:
myTunes Redux is a modern music player focused on helping users rediscover and reengage with their existing music collections through smarter organization, context-aware recommendations, and intuitive playback features.
Key Features
- Smart Library Organization: Automatically groups tracks by mood, era, listening frequency, and custom tags to surface forgotten gems.
- Contextual Recommendations: Suggests tracks and playlists based on time of day, activity (e.g., workout, study), and recent listening patterns.
- Enhanced Search & Filters: Fast, typo-tolerant search with filters for year, genre, mood, BPM, and more.
- Dynamic Playlists: Auto-generated playlists like “Hidden Favorites,” “Long-forgotten Hits,” and “Daily Rediscovery” that update as your listening changes.
- Playback Enhancements: Gapless playback, advanced crossfade, replay protection, and smart shuffle that avoids recently played tracks.
- Seamless Syncing: Offline sync for selected playlists and lightweight cloud backups of library metadata (not actual music files).
- Metadata Repair & Enrichment: Automated tag fixing, album art lookup, and optional crowd-sourced metadata suggestions.
- Integration & Export: Connects with popular streaming services for recommendations and allows export of playlists to common formats (M3U, CSV).
User Experience Highlights
- Onboarding Rediscovery Tour: A short guided walkthrough that creates an initial “Rediscovery Mix” from seldom-played tracks.
- Mood-Based Browsing: Browse by mood tags like “Chill,” “High-Energy,” or “Nostalgic,” with one-tap playlist creation.
- Discover Feed: A personalized feed showing rediscovery highlights, newly surfaced tracks, and suggested deep dives into artists or eras.
- Minimal, Customizable UI: Clean interface with customizable widgets (Now Playing, Queue, Rediscovery Mix).
Privacy & Data Handling
- Keeps library metadata local by default; optional anonymized analytics for improving recommendations. (If you want specifics about privacy, I can summarize the policy.)
