Might I ask for the implementation of other sorting algorithms here?
I don't understand the comparison function, but it's really enjoyable listening to the algorithm work out its logic.
Because it only plays the samples being compared, it never plays the sorted chunks, so it's missing a "punchline" of sorts.
Nice pick! Above that same song but not compressed to hell
I like this one for amen stuff. Heavyweight Vol.4 - Untitled 7
A couple favorites from the 90s:
>Coleman died homeless and destitute in 2006. It was unlikely he was aware of the impact he had made on music. Neither he [band leader Spencer] nor Coleman received royalties for the break.
We're dropping amen selections now?
Some classics that sound like what the app is sortin':
Remarc - Sound Murderer (Loafin' in Brockley Mix) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SUdpCVITxc
Splash - Babylon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vghx8SEeH8
DJ Krome & Mr. Time - The License https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPa5JBg8hZI
Source Direct - Secret Liason https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfEWCVoB45s
Danny Breaks - Droppin' Science Vol 1A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqZT-Jse5rQ
While I’m certain they didn’t receive royalties from all artists, I heard many 80s artists did. And Amen Brothers took others to court. So they would have know about the use of the break.
I will admit I haven’t done any independent research into this matter personally. Just echoing accounts I’ve read and taking their reports at face value.
The other famous drum sample - the "Funky Drummer" as drummed by Clyde Stubblefield for James Brown, Stubblefield didn't think the particular drum pattern he used was particularly noteworthy. In that case, James Brown's production choices were actually more key - his signature sound revolved around really crisp drums that he insisted needed to be clear on AM Radio and Jukeboxes. Which is what made it so useful for sampling.
It wasn’t until I read your comment that I realised the sorting happened while you were listening rather than before hand.

I have no idea why it works this way and it’s frequently annoying.
We upvote comments that completely miss the point of how this algorithm works. We upvote comments that claim the algorithm does nothing at all. We downvote comments about how the creator of the original drum break died destitute.
Set it to 8 slices and it becomes easy to see what it's doing: look at the waveform and the now-playing highlight jumping around.
And I hate web pages making sound! But the UX is confusing, and it’s changed over the years, seemingly without reason.
Iphones now have a software toggle as well, which may have coincided with the shift from “mute ringer” to “mute (almost) everything” that came with the multifunction button.
"Focus follows brain" is how everybody wants windowed UIs to work. When I type on the keyboard the letters go where my brain thought they should go - duh, but of course that's unimplementable, so the Windows UI provides "Click to focus" - if I click on a Window the typing goes there until I click another window, meanwhile some Unix systems do "Focus follows Mouse" - if I move the mouse over a Window then my typing goes there even without clicking. Neither is what we actually wanted, both are trying to approximate.
