Cats, The Musical! Algorithmic Song Meow-ification
summary
A tool that converts any song into cat meows, claiming a usable pipeline rather than just jokes: Meowifier parses audio via Sonic API or the open-source melodia, translates extracted pitches to MIDI, warps durations with ffmpeg, and assembles output. The build includes an 88-note auto‑tuned meow library (≈4 octaves), TDD Ruby code, imperfect melody extraction for pop scores, and a planned Shazam-style MIDI scrape plus AWS caching to speed repeat requests.
