The Filter plug-in for Windows

Plug-in which works with iTunes, Windows Media Player & WinAMP

What does it do?
  • The Filter for Windows is a small plug-in that pays attention to what you play in iTunes, Windows Media Player or WinAMP.
  • It sends the information back to our servers so that we can give you more accurate music recommendations.
  • We don’t do anything else with the data other than use it to improve your recommendations.

    • Windows: Requires Windows XP or Vista.
    Mac users: download The Filter for Mac
Improve Your Recommendations

How does all this work?
  • You will need to download and install The Filter for Windows using the link above and then enter your login details for TheFilter.com when prompted by the software.
  • When The Filter runs for the first time it will scan your music library and send back the data to The Filter servers. This will mean that we don’t recommend you music that you already own and will also result in The Filter giving you more accurate daily recommendations.
  • The Filter will then sit in your system tray and can display notifications when you start playing a new song. We recommend that you keep The Filter open so that The Filter can stay up-to-date with your changing musical tastes.
