Pioneer are spruiking a product labelled Mixtrax. This hardware/software takes the tools of Pioneer’s professional DJ line and sends them out across a new lineup of portable and automotive products via music management software with a cloud approach.

Mixtrax with an internet connection will analyses your music collection for various attributes, including tempo and beats per minute (BPM). The internet connection will evaluate your music’s metadata and compare to a database on Pioneer’s cloud, speeding the analysis. The music is then categorized in its given genre, being “Dance,” “Chill” “house” etc and you’re on your way to creating instant mixes.

Mixtrax can automatically deliver a non-stop mix of tracks based on the information that it has collected. Worth the dollars?

reminds me a little of the Mixed in Key Mashup software
