Music Hack Day Hacks – HacKey
Posted by Paul in fun, Music, The Echo Nest on January 31, 2010
The Stockholm Music Hack Day hacks are starting to roll in. One really neat one is ‘hackKey‘ by Matt Ogle from Last.fm. This hack looks gives you a chart that shows you the keys of your most listened to songs in your last.fm profile:
As you can see my favorite key is E minor. I should put this on a tee-shirt.
The hack uses Brian’s new search_tracks API for the key identification. Cool beans! Will we see flaneur in velour?
I don’t know how well Matt’s hack will scale so I won’t put a link to it here on the blog until after he’s done demoing it at the hack day. Matt’s demo is done so here’s the link: http://users.last.fm/~matt/hackey/
