The Infinite/Eternal Jukebox has been revived
A project called The Infinite Jukebox was started back in 2012 and allowed users to endlessly loop songs at similar-sounding parts, creating the illusion of an infinite song. It works better for some songs than others and often requires you to use the "Tune" feature to make it loop better.
The original Infinite Jukebox went down years ago, leading to "The Eternal Jukebox" being created not long after. Sadly, that tool stopped working in mid 2023, possible due to Spotify API changes.
A few weeks ago, Reddit user davioitu announced that they had revived the project and the tool is now once again available to use.
Here's an example of a basic loop: https://jukebox.davi.gq/jukebox_go.html?id=2pNMoqwpAGDmoLWnn3IaVV&thresh=2&bp=0,0,9 https://jukebox.davi.gq/jukebox_go.html?id=2pNMoqwpAGDmoLWnn...

- msoucy 3y agoI have fond(ish) memories of being at a hackathon and hearing Ignition Remix for two hours nonstop with Infinite Jukebox. I look forward to trying this new incarnation!
- dinkleberg 3y agoThis is great to see! I used to use the original and then the eternalbox fork, glad to see another instance is back up. If you haven't used it, it might seem weird at first. But I've found that playing the same song on loop rather than listening to albums/playlists is the perfect productivity hack.
- maxglute 3y agoYoutube autoplayed 100 hours shreksophone while I was meal prepping and I ended up just keeping it going for 4 hours. I like listening to the same few songs on loop at the gym, but doing one meme song was surprisingly also effective. Girlfriend found it very objectionable though.
- for1nner 3y agoAm I blocking too many scripts, or has it been HN'd to death with requests?
- joombaga 3y agoI'm using uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger, and it was working for me until a few minutes ago.
- Pikamander2 3y agoI tested it just now and it seems to work fine. Sometimes there's a short delay before the music circle appears.
- s09dfhks 3y agoIt’s not outputting any audio for me on mobile, anyone else?
- whycome 3y agoSame. iOS. Tested in chrome, safari, Firefox, opera. Shows timer and beats but no audio. Edit: as below, you need to make sure silent mode is off and it will work.
- Synaesthesia 3y agoWorked for me (iPhone, no content blockers)
- lbourdages 3y agoI had to get out of silent mode for it to work.
- whywhywhywhy 3y agoThis was impressive the first time I saw it in 2012 and it's still impressive today.

- kouru225 3y agoI think we might a killed it cause it’s just endlessly loading for me.

- xnzakg 3y agoAlso seems to never load for me, stuck at "Fetching the analysis"

- iforgotpassword 3y agoBlast from the past! Surprised this one serves the music too like the original. at least when I tried the eternal jukebox fork later on, you had to provide the music file yourself.
- snarkconjecture 3y agoAs of right now, it seems to work for any song on Infinite Jukebox mode but the Autocanonizer gets stuck on loading for any song that isn't one of the presets.
- MrPoush 3y agoIt looks like Autocanonizer depends on (the now defunct) Echo Nest (http://the.echonest.com http://the.echonest.com). Spotify bought it back in '16, and the site stopped serving content sometime mid-May of 2020.
- kurtoid 3y agoWeird, it worked on the local docker version
- vsnf 3y agoEcho Nest was one hell of an analysis company. We lost some amazing work when Spotify purchased it. The silverlining is that their Audio Analysis API endpoint is basically Echo Nest's work made wholesale available for each song they have but we lost the potential for improvements. This many years out, who knows what they'd have been able to do.
- sanqui 3y agoI really miss the Infinite Jukebox. The original had MP3 upload support though, and this one doesn't...
- stkai 3y agoI tried a few songs that didn't quite feel right with the default settings, but Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin completely slaps: https://jukebox.davi.gq/jukebox_go.html?id=78lgmZwycJ3nzsdgmPPGNx https://jukebox.davi.gq/jukebox_go.html?id=78lgmZwycJ3nzsdgm...
- Bluecobra 3y agoWhip It by Devo is really good as well: https://jukebox.davi.gq/jukebox_go.html?id=4sscDOZCkbLSlDqcCgUJnX https://jukebox.davi.gq/jukebox_go.html?id=4sscDOZCkbLSlDqcC... This would be perfect for music on hold :D
- pimlottc 3y agoThis is neat but the UI is a bit confusing to me... how do you tell which way a "shortcut" goes? Some seem to go forward and some backwards. Mentally I think of a loop as "going backwards" so this confused me, e.g. I expected basic demo [0] to loop at the 2 o'clock position. And how do you "activate" a loop in a track when there are multiple possible auto-generaed loops [1]? Is it just random? Or am I missing something? It would be nice to be able to control it. 0: https://jukebox.davi.gq/jukebox_go.html?id=2pNMoqwpAGDmoLWnn3IaVV&thresh=2&bp=0,0,9 https://jukebox.davi.gq/jukebox_go.html?id=2pNMoqwpAGDmoLWnn... 1: https://jukebox.davi.gq/jukebox_go.html?id=78lgmZwycJ3nzsdgmPPGNx https://jukebox.davi.gq/jukebox_go.html?id=78lgmZwycJ3nzsdgm...
- epiccoleman 3y agoAfter getting frustrated at being unable to load a song I wanted to try, I just bit the bullet and downloaded the repo, and ran a local copy with Docker. It was very worth it to get to try It's All Clear to Me Now by Lotus. It's an interesting song in that it has a lot of repetition already, so it was rife with loop points. I found myself laughing a few times as I waited for a transition only to be sent back to the start of some melodic section. It's not quite as cool as some of the better examples here (Immigrant Song really works too well), but it was easy to set up. This thing is awesome, will definitely be playing with it more.

- phantomathkg 3y agoSeems only work with those suggested? Enter some random song and it just sit there.

- The_SamminAter 3y agoInterestingly enough, both results for In & Out by Sonic Youth, which I think would work well with this, seem to play Sugar Cane (by the same artist) instead.
- cwillu 3y agoIn honour of some of the worse songs one can loop, perhaps the two words should be combined: The Infernal Jukebox.
- njroute22 3y agoVery cool - but I discovered something ominous about it. After just a few minutes of the repetitive, infinite music - I began to feel uneasy. I would suspect that being forced to hear this for an extended amount of time could lead to very bad results. Up to and including insanity and worse.
- phoe-krk 3y agoE.g. https://jukebox.davi.gq/jukebox_go.html?id=2RxeRHUzmu8TTCU0R4pokC https://jukebox.davi.gq/jukebox_go.html?id=2RxeRHUzmu8TTCU0R... gives me the error "Audio could not be retrieved, provide a youtube link or file on the tune settings". Where and how do I provide a youtube link or file?
