Technically, it's not infinite because if you fail every coin flip, you get to the actual end of the song. But it's closer to infinite than just playing the song normally. Unless you get all the "go forward"s and none of the "go back"s.

The version with Brians May and Blessed is not infinitely looping

I regret nothing.

Sorry, can't play music properly in the background
Thanks Chrome

Start playing it, leave for a couple of seconds, press
twice then click near the end of the song (just before 'twelve o'clock')

Had similar troubles in Firefox, but moved it out to a separate window and it worked fine.
Listened to 10 minutes of Gangnam Style. Hmm... I might be going crazy.

This changes the meaning of everything!

Billy Jean is completely seamless. Others, not so much...

Wow! What a cool concept... WAIT WHAT'S THIS I SEE, copyrighted music? For free? Can't have any of that, let me just call my lawyers and ruin it for everyone. [/prediction]
The concept of music analysis had always fascinated me. I didn't know we were advanced enough to do things like this already.

The algorithm that finds similar parts in the tracks seems to work very well indeed. Where the system sometimes falls down is on beat detection, which is critical for smooth playback. (Might be partly down to MP3 files having poor resolution at the lower frequencies)

You can tweak it by pressing the Tune button:
Tuning the Infinite Jukebox
The Infinite Jukebox works hard to find the best way to make a song play forever.  This is a balancing act.  The jukebox needs to add branches to a song that will allow it to hyper-jump from one se…
-
That's certainly good, but I still don't see any parameters for beat detection. I'm not complaining - it's still an awesome concept.
-
Just the ability to play a song backwards beat by beat without branching makes this cool enough for me. Though setting the branch probability range seems to have no effect on the last one (it always takes it), which when going backwards is the first one, so you have to skip it manually.

I actually experienced this in the wild* a few** years ago. The song "Back To Life" was on the jukebox and the CD skipped from a quiet bit towards the end to the corresponding quiet bit near the start. It took a while for people to start to notice but little by little we did. After about half an hour most of the pub had stopped what they were doing to listen to the song and with the reduced background noise you could actually spot the skip.
It was a rare whole-pub-bonding moment. Then someone got the song ejected and we moved on with our lives.
*It was a pub in Stockton-on-Tees so it was pretty wild
**Given the song, this was quite a few years ago.

Not the words I was expecting.

The Green Dragon in the early 90's...good times.
It wasn't particularly wild though apart from one night when 3 skinheads came in and started verbally abusing people with a mini loud hailer. Time for a sharp exit.
