what a waste of electrons...

This might be the most powerful website that is, at the same time, completely useless, that I have ever seen.

What is the point here??

Well, the idea is that you can, instead of just creating a simple online mixtape, which is becoming all the rage and certainly the next place the RIAA will set its sights, this place allows you to create a MASH-UP of some songs.
Except, it really actually doesn't.
You are allowed to select a series of songs. I don't know how many songs in a row you can select. Let's say you have five songs. You select the songs, then tell the software if you want to change the order of the songs or if you want the software to suggest an order for the songs.
Then after the order has been selected, it pushes all the music through a beat-matching filter of some kind and mixes the songs together. Well, it fades from one song into another, with really privative beat-matching. Just fades from one song to the next. No real mash-up of any kinda.
You can't upload your own songs and the song selections it plays for you are maxed out at 20 seconds per song.
You get about 10 or 20 seconds from some songs primitively beat-matched and faded in and out and in and out. I don't see how this process warrants and entire web site, at all. At the most, it should be a lame flash app on someone's MySpace page.

Here it is if you wanna look at it, though after reading what I just wrote, why would you WANNA LOOK AT IT!?

www.thisismyjam.com Should be www.thisismylameassedcrap.com
