I wish it'd play through the whole thing in order at the end

(the amen break is one of the most commonly-sampled drum breaks in popular music: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amen_break)

Cool, but I don't see how it's sorting anything. It just seems to play a randomized arrangement of the slices. You can re-randomize as much as you like but there's no sort option as far as I can see.

If you aren’t familiar with the Amen Break, here’s a now classic 18 minute documentary on the Amen Break and its origins and evolution:

This deserves the top spot on the front page!

Might I ask for the implementation of other sorting algorithms here?

My personal prize for the most chopped amen goes to Breakage’s Final mix of Equinox’s Acid Rain VIP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoKlz6_I4vY

I can't help laughing. This is great.

I don't understand the comparison function, but it's really enjoyable listening to the algorithm work out its logic.

That's a fun two minutes for any computer scientist drum and bass fan.

Not playing it all the way through at the end is diabolical.

-100 points for not having a volume slider.

It sounds like a Ventian Snares track. Love it.

I would have expected it to be terrible to listen to, but it was pretty nice.

Can someone explain the comparison function?

No sound on iPhone. Shame Apple is so hostile to the web. Tragic really.
