Peter Gabriel wants to be your DJ

As if he wasn't already busy, what with being the music legend and all... Peter Gabriel's playlist construction kit The Filter, already available free for iTunes for Windows, is now entering 2.0 alpha test for Mac users. The Filter automatically loads your iPod with custom, mood-relevant playlists and explores your music collection for those gems gathering dust in the corners.

Registration for the alpha test is by invitation for now, so you can either send an email from the download page or go straight to the alpha registration and wait to hear back. May I suggest queuing up Plays Live while you wait?

Thanks, Shaun!
