Book Playlist was created at CODEX Hackathon at the MIT Media Lab this weekend, along with many other cool projects. (I am the creator).

@bentossell @viking2917 Hi Ben - I've always had a soundtrack playing in my head for books I'm reading, and been interested in the intersection of books and music. Was at a hackathon this weekend and thought it would be interesting to make a place where people could share their favorite music and book combos...

@bentossell @viking2917 Authors have been talking about their musical inspirations for forever (often via a blog post and spotify blog post ) - might be an interesting angle for Product Hunt Books sometime...

@viking2917 Nice work! I've used https://www.booktrack.com previously also.

@kamilszybalski @viking2917 Yes I met those folks a few years back, it's interesting stuff. They're after something slightly different - a single, pre-defined soundtrack that's synchronized with your reading progress (which is cool), vs a socially curated set of interesting commercial music that goes with the book. But very interesting! Thanks for pointing it out!

I love this. I like to read to soundtracks too. They can make the experience so much more powerful. I created a 'Dystopian' playlist when reading 1984. Feel free to use it! https://open.spotify.com/user/11...

@oliwesbiz Cool. I put it in, nice playlist! http://www.bookplaylist.com/book... (note you can go to the site and add your own track(s) to any book in the database....
