hamRadio
hamRadio is an automatic playlist generator. Users can add seed songs to a playlist and our algorithm will continue to update the playlist with great recommendations. We are still at an early stage with this project but we will have huge improvements ready in a few months.

Enrich
Enrich is a project that is meant to enhance the mp3 experience. I use special ID3 tags to annotate songs with lyrics (or other text), images, videos, and RSS feeds without significantly effecting the size of the file. I also developed the corresponding player for this updated mp3 file type. Annotations allow the user to skip around the audio track in meaningful chunks (skip to the next verse or paragraph).

Vidify
Vidify is an app for the Spotify Desktop client that automatically finds and displays the music video of the currently playing song. (Notice: Spotify recently deprecated desktop client apps)
