MoodAmp

MoodAmp is an innovative Windows tool that can play music stored on your computer according to your mood.

It does sound like a really remarkable tool, but the whole idea behind this program is actually a lot simpler.

First of all, MoodAmp indexes all audio files on the local drives and, thanks to the built-in player, it plays them all. For every song it loads, the application requires you, the user, to provide a rating, which can be “Awesome”, “Good”, “Average”, “Bad” and “Exclude”.

According to these ratings, the program then allows you to select a mood, with available options including “Angry”, “Energetic”, “Happy”, “In Love”, “Neutral”, “Relaxed”, “Romantic”, “Sad” and “Working”, so all songs added to the playlist are supposed to be appropriate for your mood.

There are some inconveniences, of course, and the most important one concerns the time you need to spend to rate each song of your computer. A 1000-song collection basically requires you to listen to every single file and only then enjoy the real features of MoodAmp.

A settings menu lets you customize the app even more, allowing you to set up the way songs are played depending on rated tracks, artists or genres.

The good thing is that MoodAmp works like a charm on all Windows workstations out there and although further improvements are needed, it does its job very well.

All things considered, this is a very interesting project that needs to be continued and thanks to the brilliant idea it’s based on, it can be clearly a handy tool for both beginners and those more experienced.
