just to chime in here, i think the idea is really neat, and we needn't
bring in issues of whether or not it detracts from the merit
of the art form. that is just as creatively stifling in its own way. i
personally think it would be really cool to rip a
bunch of tracks from my vinyl, encode them in a format with bpm info and
maybe an offset specifying where beats fall, and then load the tracks into
something like winamp. after that, you could just set an option, and get
a random continuously mixed set without any train wrecks. it would be
great to just burn a couple of minidiscs of different randomly generated
computer mixes to bring on the train. are there any programmers on list
besides myself who might want to implement this? we could set up a cvs
repository on sourceforge or something. i'm thinking we could use
modified mp3 format files.
