How does Moodagent work?

Moodagent is controlled by five sliders – Sensual, Tender, Joy, Aggressive, Tempo – to help you indicate the kind of music you want to hear. This straightforward approach makes it easy to find the best tracks to cater to “Ever Changing Moods”, a sudden or unexpected mood, to change a mood or to simply find music that works well together.

You can also ‘seed’ a song to create a playlist based on one specific tune, save and name playlists or remove songs from playlists. Moodagent is the ideal solution for people who have collected hundreds, if not thousands of tracks, and is a new and innovative way to discover and rediscover your music.
