We are approaching peak Christmas music season. That means that many of us are getting really sick of hearing the same Christmas songs over and over. One can only hear Bing Crosby’s White Christmas so many times before measures must be taken. To remedy this situation, this morning I created a quick web app that let you chose from among a number of different Christmas genres (from classical to heavy metal) to let you add a little variety to your Christmas mix. If you are getting weary of the Christmas standards, but still want to listen to Christmas music, you may want to give it a try: The Christmas Playlister
Have a Very Nestive Christmas

What an amazing idea. Your very own Christmas jukebox web app. Great work.

Out of curiosity, is there anyway I can get a download link for the Python script that creates swing music? No one seems to have it and the many sites that automated the process have since disappeared.

Check out The Echo Nest remix. In the examples folder you will find Swinger.py:
