The Infinite Jukebox may come as somewhat of a revelation. For an introduction, readers may go to the site and click on a few of the popular tunes listed on the homepage. For instance, selecting Superstition by Stevie Wonder kicks off the 1972 hit in the way you've always heard it. But then The Infinite Jukebox takes over, matching beats and rhythmic patterns to create intelligent patterns for where the song can go next. No simple loop here. Instead the song plays for as long as the listener would like, but with seemingly infinite variety. Once users understand the basic principle, they can upload their own MP3s for free and let The Infinite Jukebox reorganize them into epic soundtracks for their working day.

This quirky creation create an infinite musical loop from any song you select - and by infinite I mean never-ending. You can select a track from the site's vast library or upload a song of your own, which the site will analyze and use to create a pattern. This site could be beneficial for use with classical music to make easy background music.

Pretty innovative program that remixes your favorite tunes so that you can listen to them over a long period of time! No need to use the "repeat" button anymore when you like a tune. It is INFINITE!
