Infinite Jukebox plays your favorite songs forever by Nathan Yau.

From the post:

You know those songs that you love so much that you cry because they’re over? Well, cry no more with the Inifinite Jukebox by Paul Lamere. Inspired by Infinite Gangnam Style, the Infinite Jukebox lets you upload a song, and it’ll figure out how to cut the beats and piece them back together for a version of that song that goes forever.

Requires advanced web audio so you need to fire up a late version of Chrome or Safari. (I am on Ubuntu so can tell you about IE. In a VM?)

I tried it with Metallica’s Unforgiven.

Very impressive, although that assessment will vary based on your taste in music.

Would make an interesting interface for exploring textual features.

To have calculation of features and automatic navigation based on some pseudo-randomness. So you encounter data or text you would not otherwise have seen.

Many would argue we navigate with intention and rational purpose, but to be honest, that’s comfort analysis. It’s an explanation we use to compliment ourselves. (see, Thinking, Fast and Slow) Research suggests decision making is complex and almost entirely non-rational.
