Listen to Songs that Match Your Mood with ‘StereoMood’

by on May 31st, 2010

When it comes to music streaming, there are a number of sites available on internet. But how about having a collection of the most amazing songs that swing perfectly with your mood on their own? A new site known as Stereomood has been gaining traction amongst the music lovers with a new concept of letting users listen to their favorite tracks as per their mood and emotions.

The six months old site developed by four Italian friends is inspired by sites such as The Hype Machine and Last.fm, which allow users to rank songs up and down and gradually build up their preferences. Stereomood works on the same basic principle with an additional touch of emotions to it.

‘Obviously emotion is subjective”, says Eleonora Viviani, one of the four friends. “We need the users’ reactions. The site’s algorithm then ranks songs according to what mood they inspire and how popular they are”.

The site has a very clean interface and believe me the collection of the songs is great as well. Apart from the usual moods of happy, sad, romantic, party and so on, users also get to choose what music they might want to hear while cooking, when they are dreamy, while making love, when they are thinking and lots more.

Choosing an emotion will list down songs matching the mood while the users may also shuffle the tracks, listen by artist, track, album or keyword, add them to library and create customized playlists. They may also share tracks and playlists with friends by sending a recommendation e-mail to them. Clicking onto a link sent to their email address will direct them to the songs. Another cool feature is that the users may also submit the tracks that are not present in Stereomood but only in the mp3 format.

You might find some songs repeated in different mood segments like that in happy or a party mood.  “It’s because they’re popular”, explains Eleonora. “If a lot of users like a song in a certain mood, then it will stay near the top of the lists. Ideally we’d have someone constantly monitoring the relation between mood and music, but it’s impossible at the moment.”
