Moody 1.0 is available

Last year, we wrote about the Moody beta. This week, the folks at Crayon Room made version 1.0 available. The idea is to sort music by mood, rather than artist, album or genre.

The first step is to tag your music as sad or happy; calm or intense (fortunately, you can tag many tracks at once). As you do, the Moody track information is stored in the "Composer" field.

Once that's done, you can keep the tiny Moody window open and click the color-coded button that represents your current mood. Other goodies include Twitter integration, support for uploading and downloading tags and the color editor for customizing those buttons.

It's a great idea; I often listen to music by "mood." Moody is donation ware ($9US is suggested) and requires Mac OS 10.4 or better.

Ya know, beaTunes does the same... and more... automagically. It's Java so it'll take an eon or more to burn through a *big* library but if you're looking for playlists to suit your mood, there's way better ways to do it than by hand.

...and yeah, it's not free. But then, you couldn't *pay* me to go through and tag every song in my library (composer or no).

Too bad that's a complete misuse of the "composer" field. I actually, you know, care about who composes my music. For example, Vaughan Williams.

Should have used the "grouping" tag. There you can safely append any string of names without messing up a standardized and logical field. That's what it's for!
