The Future of Music, MP3s and Moods. Or not.

Mac interfaces are pretty damn cool.

Check out this mp3 playa called 'moodLogic'

i don't know how it works, but i think the mood bar in the middle must be pivotal to its operation.

While this is a, um... nice summary of the full emotional spectrum it is certainly missing a few of my own favourite moods including:

• lustful
• embarrassed
• wallowing in regret
• wistful
• sobbing hysterically
• terrified
• silly
• bemused
• shocked
• insulted
• jaunty
• bored into a stupor
• gassy
• drunk
• deep in thought
• busting to pee

And of course, real people (like you and I) are not simple creatures. We often experience combinations of the above moods. Perhaps:

• frightened, lustful and sobbing hysterically.

or

• drunk, jaunty and busting to pee.

and the all too common:

• happy yet, at the same time, sad. And just busting to pee.

I guess the Emotional Sciences still have a lot of work to do in the realm of classifying MP3's.
