This truly looks like a cool app, perhaps a virtual (moving) speaker in the menubar, ala winamp, to allow quick playlist changes?

A filter to boost the strength of the beat would be awesome to help keep an even rhythm while exercising or practicing an accompaniment as a musician.

Getting a “mood” playlist on tangerine would be nice. This is also good for picking out songs that you never listen to, especially in albums.

Tangerine would be brilliant for any kind of dance: rock ‘n roll (where it’s best to have a certain speed to get it really acrobatic) leaps to mind, but all other dances have a certain feel to them, and if you want to be able to dance on them, you need the right rhythm.
A cool way to use these features would be for dance lessons: beginners start with a much slower pace, and it goes up.

Another possible use I can see would be for gaming: some games don’t have the right music, and you want to either have a simple “ambiance” background sound, or you want a very fast thing to create an adrenaline rush.

As far as future features go, the best I believe would be for Tangerine! to become truly integrated with iTunes, in order for all changes to appear right away (BPM without need for future syncing, â€¦).

I do some movie editing and I’d use Tangerine to help me make playlists for different types of scenes: dramatic, light-hearted etc.

What if Tangerine could use song lyrics in the list generation? All your songs that talk about drinking beer and driving trucks in the rain . . . Oh wait, just pull up the Country genre.

I would definitely use Tangerine to create a playlist of energizing songs, that I could listen to, for pumping me up before my hockey games

I’d want to use it to compile playlists for all the eclectic, eastern-influenced music scattered throughout my library that I like to listen to every so often (yeah, I’m weird that way).

I’d love to see tangarine combo with some type of music mood tagging to develop even better playlists. I’d also like to see some sort of description tagging for driving music, etc.

A good idea would be to add a “Share” button after your playlist is created. this would then send the list of songs to the Tangerine site, and other users could view playlists you’ve created.

Say you’re looking for some new workout songs, you could do a search and see playlists generated by other users. It’d be a great way to discover new music!

P.S. Great app

I’d use tangerine to create playlists of more intense music for working out.

Classical music of a similar “speed” to fall asleep more cozily

I think it would be a cool feature to have a transitional playlist for moods. For instance, as a personal trainer, I know it would be useful to have one playlist that segues from low intensity to moderate or high intensity and back to a low intensity, or tempo. This would be perfect to arrange a one-hour workout with clients. Heck, put that to use with videos on itunes and you could have a customized “workout video” playlist.

Oh, this would be nice!

I’d make some playlist depending on my moods! Sometimes I’d like to hear slow songs; other times I just want to headbang my way into oblivion with some death/black metal blast beats!

Playlists that correspond to what you’re doing (driving, shopping, playing video games etc), the songs wouldn’t necessarily relate to the task at hand in content, but in mood and speed.

I forgot to post my suggestion. I’d like the ability to use the iTunes genres and find other songs in my library that have similar beats. This would give the ability to create some very interesting playlists.

By: ErichD

I’d definitely use it to create playlists for different times of the day.

One for higher bpm and higher intensity when I need to wake up and get energized;

One for slower bpm and lower intensity when I need to zone out and relax and fade into sleep…..

and varied multi level mixes for when I have guests over!

a mood tagging system would be a great idea – perhaps intergration with Moody?

By: Dylan

In a future version, I’d love to have the ability to generate playlists that revolve around a particular subject, like love, cars, sadness, mornings, running, or what have you.

well, a workout mix that builds and then comes back down would be ideal, but a driving mix to help with long road trips would be awesome too!

This sounds like a great program, and one I’ve had my eye on for a while.

It would be great to be able to create playlists in Tangerine based on the standard BPM and Beat intensity, but also be able to sort by any category of metadata that iTunes supports. Genre, year, artist, album artist, etc. That would expand flexibility, which would be great.

I think it would be cool if it could find lyrics for your songs and then create playlists for songs that are about “break-up” or “first dates.” So you can have playlists that act as soundtracks to your life.

a cool feature could be that if tangarine! doesnt find many songs for the desired playlist,it could give u some artist or music suggesitions, opening the itunes store or any other music website

I’d love to see if I can make a playlist of one-hit wonders.

Used this briefly when it first released and it’s a promising app!

A love making playlist is what I’d create! HA!

As far as any recommendations, I suppose Tangerine working more closely with iTunes would be nice, and perhaps a syncing new playlist option with iPod would be sweet.

Comment: A pretty cool app. However, it’s price point ($25) seems a bit pricey, particularly when its shortcomings are taken into consideration.

Suggestions: In general, it doesn’t work with several iTunes add-ons I find indespensible, e.g.:
- Quicksilver integration for i) controlling playback, volume, etc; and ii) changing song ratings
- Ability to change song rating
- Doesn’t interface with the widget I use to get album art
- QuickTunes

This is just the tool I have been looking for. I have been searching for an easy way to create new and unique playlists for my kids to fall asleep to. I had been thinking that basing a smart playlist on BPM was the way to go, but was not looking forward to spending the next few weeks hanging out with my mac and my metronome instead of the family. I have also been looking for ways to make playlists that would help me wear out the kids and then relax them to get ready for bed. As a full-time student and single father of two kids, I need to find ways to get the kids to sleep early enough to get my homework done before sunrise.

I would use Tangerine to create a playlist that gently wakes me up each morning.
