Just a quick post to talk about the Smart DJ feature in the latest release (Version: 4.0.740.0) of the Zune software.
There are several web sites that read from a database of music-listening user preferences, and display music maps based on an artist or song (music-map.com, for one).
Zune has taken that one step further with their Smart DJ feature, which allows you to select an artist, album, or a song, and have the Smart DJ create a playlist based on similar songs, artists, genres, or whatever black magic it uses to determine the relationship between two pieces of music.
As you can see above, hovering over an artist displays the Smart DJ feature.
Once you select Smart DJ, it will create a playlist and display the Zune music player window (which has been revamped and is gorgeous).
And Yes, at the time of this writing, I was in an 80’s alternative mood.
