Create exciting playlists from your existing iTunes library - free!

The Filter is an iTunes plug-in that creates playlists quickly and easily. All that is required is to pick a couple of songs that you like (e.g. with the mood and tone that you want to set for the playlist), and The Filter searches your iTunes library and automatically creates a playlist that matches the songs you specified.

The Filter requires iTunes 6 or 7, (Windows only at present), a broadband connection, and an iTunes library with at least 200 songs. It also works with other MP3 players including the Creative Zen, Nokia N series, and most USB-based music devices.

Update (Oct 23): I've been using The Filter for a couple of weeks now, and I'm very pleased with it--it really does an amazing job of creating playlists of related songs from just one or two "seed" songs. I highly recommend it!
