Gracenote Playlist™ is the first dynamic playlist generation technology for both desktop and embedded platforms. Playlist can generate digital music playlists automatically for both offline devices and online devices, such as portable MP3 players and car stereos.
Instant More Like This™ Automatic Playlists
Gracenote Playlist allows the listener to generate one-touch More Like This playlists by simply selecting one or more songs or artists as seeds songs. Gracenote Playlist then returns a mix of music that contains music from related artists and genres.
Adaptive Playlists
Listeners can save and name any playlist definition as a "dynamic playlist." As music is added to a collection, the dynamic playlists are automatically updated to include appropriate selections from the new content. For example, the listener could define a dynamic playlist that always generates a new mix of the user's "Favorite Solo Female Country Artists of the '90s."
Gracenote Playlist comes with pre-set playlists such as "Rock On, Dude" and "70s Soul and Funk." Developers can also create their own customized pre-set dynamic playlists, which enables quick and easy access to specific music as soon as it is added to the collection and identified by Gracenote.
Flexibility for Different Graphical User Interfaces
Developers can choose the number of genres and attributes to expose to their consumers to define their own dynamic playlists.
Unlike common playlisting tools, Gracenote Playlist does not depend on the user's current music file tag data solely for accuracy and completeness. Gracenote Playlist instead uses proprietary data to classify music into more than 1,600 micro-genres, as well as artist eras, origins, and other descriptive information.
Gracenote Music Similarity Data
Gracenote's music similarity data incorporates nearly one million comparisons, enabling the creation of playlists with unprecedented focus.
Global Song Popularity Trends
Create playlists based on worldwide song popularity, provided by Gracenote's global user community.
Personal Listening Preferences

Gracenote MusicID® Integration
Gracenote Playlist utilizes Gracenote MusicID and the Gracenote Media Database for accurate and complete metadata. As a result, Gracenote Playlist can create great mixes from a listener's entire music collection.
