MSN Visualizer Puts Photos to Your Music

There’s a new site available for those who would like to feast their eyes on photos taken from Flickr while listening to their favorite music.

Called MSN Visualizer and designed by Hinderling Volkart (MSN UK was involved in this project as well), the site proposes a new way of putting music and videos together.

All that users will have to do is to select the song they would like to listen to, and the Visualizer application will seek a photo to match with the lyrics.

But there’s more to it, as the site will also enable users to come up with their own lyrics and have them submitted to an instrumental track.

“Simply select a song and our Visualizer app will browse Flickr for a relevant photo to match with the song lyric. This month we’ve teamed up with UK record label Ninja Tune for a great selection of tunes from the likes of Pop Levi, Bonobo and Hexstatic,” MSN UK explains.

“By selecting ‘Write’ you’ll also be able to submit your own lyrics, poems or random thoughts to an instrumental track and share with friends. Give it a whirl now!”

The new Visualizer by MSN will offer access to no less than 47 songs, while also bringing together millions of images. Thus, the site is able to deliver a new clip each time a song is played.

After choosing the song to listen to, users will have to let it buffer. When that action is completed, you will be able to enjoy the song straight in the web browser.

“The lyrics with a total of over 11,000 words explore Flickr as tags for images, the dynamic selection within the search results happens randomly. Each time a song is being played, Visualizer creates a completely new and unique video clip,” MSN UK notes.

“Enjoy it and use it: write your own words, play it with a random song and send the sounding message to your friends. It’s great, it’s fun, it’s highly personal.”

To ensure that they take full advantage of what the new Visualizer by MSN has to offer, users should consider accessing it via Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 9. If you haven’t already installed it on your Windows PC, you can download it from Softpedia via this link. Those who give it a try should also consider providing feedback on their experience.
