GJay (Gtk+ DJ) generates playlists across a collection of music (ogg, mp3, wav) such that each song sounds good following the previous song.

GJay project is ideal for home users who want a non-random way to wander large collections or for DJs planning a set list.

You can generate playlists from within the application, or run GJay as a standalone command-line utility.

Playlist matches are based on:

Song characteristics that don't change
Frequency fingerprint
Beats per minute
Location in file system
Song attributes that you set
Rating
Color (whatever that means to you)

Currently, GJay only works under Linux. There are plans afoot to get it working on MacOS.

What's New in This Release:
Bugs:

Color saturation was being factored in _way_ too much for playlist generation (thanks to William Thomas for pointing this out)
Fix case where some long analysis runs were not getting written to data.xml properly (sourceforge bug 698761)

Features:

Make playlist time 4 digits wide so users can have extra-long lists (sourceforge bug 745364)
Use both inode and dev for identifying symlinks (debian bug 227122)
