Subject: Music Similarity
I've been using George Tzanitakis's software package Marsyas for
analyzing my music collection. Using his extractor I extract a feature
vector from each music file and then take those feature vectors and
cluster them.

I couldn't get George's clustering tool to work so I found a useful library for perl Algorithm::Cluster:

Anyways I was easily able to use this handy software package to cluster the data extract by Marsyas.
It turns out that the clustering seems to work a little bit. It's hard to tell right now because the part of my music collection it extracted has been many noise. It was neat to see my music associated with other artists like the Haters or Merzbow.
