(PhysOrg.com) -- An Austrian project has made the leap from research bench to shop shelf and is breathing musical intelligence into a digital audio system. This achievement has been made possible by a computer algorithm that is the first to enable the automatic creation of customised playlists directly in a hi-fi. The algorithm identifies specific musical characteristics such as rhythm and compares stored audio files for similarities. The know-how behind this system was developed some time ago with support from the FWF - and is now being used in a new music system from Bang & Olufsen.
