Companies that deal with music have finally tapped into one fundamental human truth: People are lazy. From services like Slacker and Pandora to Apple’s Genius playlists, music players are increasingly focusing on taking the work out of selecting and playing music.
Bang & Olufsen recently dragged the higher end of the market into the game with its new BeoSound 5 system, a “smart” player equipped with the company’s proprietary “More of the Same” technology. It scans your library of music and intelligently selects similar tracks to follow one another based on properties like rhythm, syncopation, key tonality, and vocal harmonies. Choose one song you’re in the mood for, and more will follow.
