A triumvirate of companies have come together to deliver a new way of handling playlists, both in the browser and through Spotify.
Microsoft, Spotify, and a "music intelligence" startup named The Echo Nest announced yesterday the launch of a visual-playlist tool, called MixShape. The feature allows users to take their Spotify playlists of up to 300 tracks, and toss them into MixShape. From there, MixShape analyzes the tracks and creates a mix for the "optimal flow between songs." That flow depends on the playlist type a person is after, which at this time, is limited to romance, party, work, or exercise.
