Stylish interfaces have characterized mufin for a long time, not only in our desktop program, mufin player, but also on the web. Our favorite Cloud player on mufinplayer.com has, as well as a make over, a new, exciting feature - the Mood playlist.
As the name suggests you can filter your uploaded tracks according to mood. Then all you have to do is move the "Mood fader" up and any fitting tracks will be displayed. The selection can then be saved as a playlist.

For more variation you could adjust the playlist so that artists can only appear once in the playlist.

The larger and more diverse your online musin collection is, the better the Mood Filter will work. So, keep uploading!

As ever mufinplayer.com offers you 2 GB free online storage space for your favorite tracks, which you can listen to either online or on your Android phone.

Time to celebrate! We are bringing out the new mufin player 2.5, which represents a milestone we have reached. The performance, the user guidance, the support for Smartphones, the Cloud connection, the visualizations and hundreds of tiny improvements make this version a must for any digital music fan.



Alongside iTunes, Winamp and Songbird, mufin player has grown to be a major competitor, which is already installed on millions of computers. The mufin player boasts an intuitive and slick interface, amazing sound and all the standard features of a software music player.
In addition to the incomparable music enjoyment, it must be said that this "Made in Germany" software teems with a lot of innovations.

 

The mufin player was the first software,

  • ...that combined sound information, title information and user ratings cleverly to help organize music collections. The music's sound qualities are analyzed when imported into the database and can then be sorted according to this information.
  • ... that integrated an interactive 3D sound map as an alternative to the list view for searching through music collections.
  • ... that seamlessly linked Cloud storage and local music collections. Songs can be loaded onto your own Cloud music storage space with a click.
  • ... that is as easy to use in a browser as it is as software. The Cloud music can be enjoyed anywhere in a browser without installation.
  • ... that was simultaneously available as PC Software, mobile app and web app.

mufin player enjoys the perfect combination of standard functions and diverse extras in version 2.5 - so, it's full speed ahead to the next round! You can download mufin player 2.5 for free here.

 

mufin ♥ Android

It's here! We're excited and very proud to present the brand new version of the "most stylish music player for Android" as a free download on Android Market!

After carefully reading your feedback to the last version, it was clear what improvements the app needed: users agreed that analysis with the PC software was too complicated and wanted additional track display options. Thanks for your input! So what's changed since the last version?




First, music analysis now takes place quick and easy via your Internet connection. This means: download the free app, install our player, load data and start right away! You no longer need mufin player for PC to analyze tracks unless you want to analyze tunes for which we don't have data yet, such as self-recorded music.

Additionally, we fitted the app with a new filter function. Not only does it look great, but it also does a great job of sorting your music collection alphabetically according to artist name in intervals determined by you. This is an ideal addition for the already integrated album and artist search filters. So, how do you want to view your music? It's up to you.

Additional improvements are the reminder function of the last completed action when the app starts, better zoom for comprehensive display of the entire collection, music scrobbling to Last.fm and many others.

The tried-and-true was kept and fine tuned: Stylish arrangement of your music on an easy-to-use multitouch-optimized screen, automatic playlist creation with just the right tracks at your fingertips and the connection to mufin.drive. Once you've uploaded your music to the cloud, you can access these tracks from any Android from any location. No more cable jungles or synchronization problems, only what's important matters: your music.



By the way, starting today, mufin player for Android has a big brother. To celebrate this we are offering the mufin player pro for Android for only $2.49 $0.99 for one week, starting today. To find out what mufin player pro for Android offers, go to Android Market.

As promised we don’t want to be a long time coming and proudly present you the new mufin player 2.0 that is so much more than a music software.

 

 

So, what’s new?

The mufin vision is now integrated in the free mufin player 2.0, too. Thus, your music collections becomes a real sound experience as all tracks are mapped as circles how they sound. That’s not all, though. The mufin vision shows you playlists – automatically or manually created – and albums as star constellations right in the music universe. Sounds cooool, don’t you think?

You know the mufin.drive from mufin player 1.5 already. We have optimised and further integrated it into mufin player, so you can effortlessly save your tracks online and have them at hand anywhere. Besides, the mufin.drive is not only accessible through the player or from mufin.com anymore but also from anywhere, from on the go and generally. Because….

 

... when you go to www.mufinplayer.com, you will find the mufin player directly in your browser as a web app. Access to mufin.drive, playlist creation, mufin vision and everything else included. Simply the mufin player for the web; good for when at friends, at a party, at uni, at work and everywhere your heart is longing for your favourite tunes. So, once you have stored your songs on mufin.drive, you can listen to them with mufinplayer.com, without any further installation of mufin player.

We didn’t stop there but we also pulled something for on the go out of the hat: mufin player for Android! With the native app, you can either live to see your music stored on the mufin.drive visually sorted by sound with mufin vision, or your music collection which you directly transferred from mufin player to your phone. Mufin to go, sort of. It goes without saying that automatic playlists with songs that go great together, visual navigation and simply have fun listening to music are top priority with this app, too.

Fresh new looks in April – the new mufin player 1.5

It's that time of year again! The spring-cleaning got a bit fancier, so that we cannot only present you the new mufin player 1.5 but also mufin.drive as well as a revamped mufin.com.

First things first, though: From today, you can download for free the new mufin player 1.5 from mufin.com. With this release, the design and the interface have been revised, many details improved and the mufin.drive is seeing the light of day.

The mufin.drive is an online storage which makes saving and listening to your music on the internet more than easy. After logging in from your mufin player 1.5, you can upload MP3s to mufin.drive with a single click. Mufin.drive offers free of charge storage space for 200 songs and 1 GB of music, respectively.

You can search for tracks as in the mufin player, sort and use the songs for compiling playlists once you have uploaded music to your online storage on mufin.com.

Additionally, the mufin player pro has been completely renewed. Especially the 3D sound universe comes up with additional improvements. Automatic Playlists are now shown as constellations in the universe. Manually built playlists can be viewed in Vision-display, too. If you have got a multitouch device, you can even use your hands for navigating the universe which we will explain more detailed in a later blogpost. With the mufin player pro, you will get even more space on mufin.drive: you can save online 600 songs and 3 GB, respectively. Furthermore, you can re-download your songs from the web which makes it an easy backup solution for your most important tracks. The best of it: The upgrade from mufin player pro to mufin player pro 1.5 is free of charge for all pro-users.

Finally, there is the new mufin.com to mention which shows up with a totally revamped user interface as well as a new music player. You can embedd the very new player into your blog or website. When you share a playlist on Facebook, your friends can listen to it right there with our new player.

 

Across the universe – Dive into your 3D sound universe with mufin player pro (and win a free copy along the way)

Almost a half million people have discovered the sound of their music using the mufin player over the last six months. We thank you very much! In the meanwhile, we have been listening to your feedback, tweaking mufin.com and our iTunes plugin. And of course we’ve been working on the final version of the mufin player that we’re releasing today. What’s new? How about some Last.fm scrobbling, Twitter and Facebook integration, album artwork, and lots of bug fixing? There’s even more, go here for all the shiny details. But before you jump the ship and grab your free copy read on.

The new mufin player

Today, we’re also releasing the mufin player pro. The mufin player pro features all the great tools found in the mufin player PLUS the 3D sound universe (not to mention things like the sound-based duplicate song finder). Interacting and playing with music in visual way has been spinning in our heads (and others) for awhile. The mufin player pro is the result of our year-long research on this topic. The 3D sound universe found in the mufin player pro lets you explore and manage your music collection in a visual way. Check out the video to get a first idea what that means:

mufin player pro 3D sound universe

Today’s music players are basically spreadsheets that play music. Ok, that’s a bit exaggerated but still – using music visualizations to access and manage your music collection, like Apple’s CoverFlow, are fairly new. Mufin player pro arranges all tracks in a 3D space, based on whatever sound metrics you choose. All your happy, fast-paced songs? In the upper right if you choose "tempo" and "mood" as metric. Calm songs with an acoustic feel? Tick “Aggressiveness” and “Sound” and you’ll have them right in front of you. In addition, you can navigate freely (and playfully) in your 3D sound universe as if it was Space Invaders redux. The possibilties are endless, far too many to cover them all in this post. That's why we'll go into more detail in future blog posts.

mufin player pro 3D sound universe

As with all good things, mufin player pro comes with a price. Unlike the free mufin player, its $29.99. We think this a reasonable price, since some of the included tools like duplicate song finder or cleaning up song meta data are sold elsewhere as stand-alone tools for the same price. And in the end, you might not have to pay at all: Everyone who comments will take part in a drawing for 10 mufin player pro licenses!

On a side note, we also incorporated a new visualization tool into mufin.com, just click "vision" and see what happens. More on that later.

After forever - Some updates on the mufin player launch

It's been a little more than a week now since we launched the mufin player, and we have been getting a ton of feedback from you guys. We really appreciate all the input you have been sending us – keep it coming! We're currently going through all the emails and tweets, but so far it seems many of you would love to have a mufin player for Mac and Linux. We haven't decided on the platforms we're going to support in the future yet, but right now we're working on making our iTunes add-on available on the Mac. The mufin player beta itself works perfectly of course has quirks here and there, with some of you having issues with logging in at mufin.com. We're checking the cause of this problem, as with all the other bugs you sent in.

Regarding proxy settings: The integrated browser uses the same proxy settings  as your Internet Explorer.  However, loggin into mufin.com or getting music recommendations from mufin.com behind a proxy is not possible (yet).  However, no Internet connection is required for using soundsort a.k.a organize by sound a.k.a recommendations from your local music collection. We're now working on incorporting your feedback as well as adding some more exciting features into the player to keep your music discovery going. Stay tuned to the blog or Twitter.com/mufin to keep up to date!

Finally, here are some quotes on the beta release:

Fasten your seatbelts, the mufin player is here! 'So what', you say? Well the mufin player is the  best first media player that lets you sort your music library by sound. Sounds good, eh? With mufin.com, we wanted to give you an alternative way to discover new music, and with the mufin player, we're giving you a completely new way to manage and organize your music library – 'sorting by sound' is what it's all about.

mufin player with soundsort and online music recommendation enabled

 

 

The mufin player doesn't just sort your music by artists or track names like you are used to, but also by sound similarity. It's not just useful when you're building a playlist, but also to keep track of which music tracks go together in your library musically. Since its all based on sound, all tracks in your collection will be included in the sorting, no matter if they have proper META information like album or artist name or not. Overall, the mufin player has a lot of great stuff packed into it:

  • mufin soundsort: As mentioned before, 'soundsort' allows you to sort your music library by sound.
  • Integration with mufin.com: You can get and listen to music recommendations from mufin.com for any track in your library. In addition, when you log into mufin.com using the mufin player, you can see which tracks have been recently played and also which tracks have been played the most on your discovery dashboard.
  • Completion of META data: If you have any tracks in your library that are missing information like artists or album name, mufin 'audioid' lets you fix it in a flash.
  • Playlist generation: The mufin player features the same playlist generation as mufin for iTunes. It works better than other playlist generation stuff out there, or at least that's what these guys say!
  • Burn/import CDs, fast 'as-you-type' search and lots of other stuff: If you're into details, you can find them here.

Just in case you were wondering, the mufin player is basically the next version of the mufin MusicFinder we released a while ago. However, these programs only share 'mufin' in their product name; it's a completely different beast on the outside and on the inside.
