Potion Factory Releases Tangerine! 1.2, a magical playlist generator
LOS ANGELES, California -- Potion Factory is pleased to announce the
release of Tangerine! 1.2 for Mac OS X. Tangerine! lets you create
playlists of upbeat songs, or playlists for relaxing by analyzing the tempo

conjured up when the developer realized that he was spending more time
picking out workout songs than actually working out. Frustrated with having
to listen to the same songs over and over again in a manually created
playlist or skipping and fumbling over mood-ruining songs in a shuffled
playlist, he decided to scratch his own itch and develop a software to

Acceleration for Anyone in the Enterprise

seeking a way out of the mire of FTP servers and email attachment
bounce-backs can now look to a new software-based product called
