MusicBox creates a map of musical attributes. A user is able to view their array of music through different qualities such as tempo, timbre and loudness. Unfortunately, this software will not be available any time soon.
The programmer, Anita Lillie, is an MIT graduate who recently started a new job at Nokia. Nokia’s current media offerings include Simulcast – some sort of simulated fishing apparatus, I’m assuming – and Nokia Music, which doesn’t support Firefox.
Lillie will not be releasing the software or code because MIT holds the intellectual property rights.
