Moody plays songs by mood instead of by album or genre. With Moody and your personal mood tags you get the best, most streamlined shuffle mixes out there. All integrated with iTunes. Watch the screencasts at the homepage.
I really like this app. The other apps that automatically create playlists never seem to suit my tastes, and always seem bloated. I like the control Moody gives, and its simplicity.
For those of you not wanting to tag your thousands of songs, I recommend starting slow with the songs you listen to most: make a smart playlist of highly rated songs, or songs with a playcount over a certain number, then go through and tag that playlist only. You can work on the rest when you feel like it.
I can't believe I'm saying this - but there used to be a really neat program called MoodLogic on WindowsWinblows, which had like a central database of tagged music, and in essence did the same thing, so it would automagically recognise (most of) your music, and you choose mixes based on your mood.
It think it would be nifty if the developer could implement something like that, cause with 100gb+ of music, tagging it manually isn't really an option!
it really is WAY too cool!
just love it. Would very much appreciate if , in the autotag function, the song could be played at 2' minutes in, if it's a song say, over 3.50 minutes long, or start playing at 1min if it's a 2 minutes song. Aboute halfway in the track, would be great. Otherwise, just plain cool and very useful... too bad my library is so huge...:-)
The moods are meant to cross over genres so there is no genre auto-function. I myself wouldn't batch tag even one particular album, since an album may contain songs with 2-3 tags, and the more accurate tagging the better result. The quicktag function is pretty fast, so manual tagging is totally doable.

chilli, it doesn't seem like you're exactly neutral in this matter...

Wow, this is way more fun than I had expected. Too bad my music collection is so big!
It really works pretty well, and I found tagging the songs was really interesting -- it makes you reflect on what the song is.

I though about havin such an app for a while. now let's try how it works.
Great concept.
Is there a way for it to auto-tag songs based on genre?
