Moodagent ($4.99 or Free), the excellent mood-based playlist maker, was updated earlier today to version 2.2. No big new features here, although I was surprised to find out that iOS 4 fast app switching wasn’t actually supported in previous versions. We can chalk that up to me not paying enough attention to the app, or Moodagent just loading too quickly for me to notice a difference. Read More

Patrick took a look at Moodagent back in January, but the app has seen a fairly major update since then. There are two separate Moodagent apps now, although the only difference between them is that one is ad-supported, and the other is not. I used the free version of the app for over a month before receiving a promo code for this quick re-review, and I can honestly say that the difference isn’t all that noticeable. The more notable differences between Moodagent 1.x and 2.x are social networking integration and some seriously detailed playlist management. I’m not exactly sure if these options were available when Patrick reviewed the app in January, but there are currently three ways to create a playlist with Moodagent. The first is to start a song in the iPod app and switch to Moodagent, at which point a playlist will be created to suit the mood of that song. The second alternative is to specify a song from within the app and create a playlist around that. The third and most pull-my-finger-y method is to use the five mood sliders (Sensual, Tender, Happy, Angry, and Tempo) to create a custom playlist on the fly. If you don’t like what Moodagent chooses for you, you have a number of tweaking options at your fingertips. Pulling down on the list will refresh it with a different set of songs, and swiping on a song will bring up a context menu (like in Twitter.app). The context menu allows you to delete or lock a particular song in your playlist, and even provides you the option of exempting a song from *any* Moodagent playlist (great for Christmas songs, if you’ve got ‘em). By default, playlists span about 25 songs, but you can stuff as many as 50 songs into one playlist, should the mood strike you. You can also send your current song as a status or tweet to Facebook or Twitter, but I’ve never really seen the point to any of these features. All the playlists in Moodagent feature your iPod music and are put together dynamically, but if you find one that you really like, you do have the option of saving it. Unfortunately, these playlists are still limited only to Moodagent. Conclusion Moodagent’s playlists don’t always hit the mark, but they’re certainly a lot more accurate and varied than Apple’s own Genius playlists. If you’re into music, this Read More

After the iPhone and Nokia smartphones, Syntonetic is bringing its Moodagent music app to devices running Android 1.5 or higher. The application creates mood-based playlists using sliders labeled Sensual, Tender, Happy, Angry and Tempo. You can lock a track to ensure a particular song appears in each new playlist or exclude it from all list if you don’t like it that much. Moreover, there’s an option to regulate the number of songs included in a playlist – 10, 25 or 50 songs. Once you got the perfect playlist, you can share it with your friends and/or followers on Facebook and Twitter. What’s unique to the Android version is the new hide/show slider functionality, which allows the listener to toggle between the sliders and the playlist, making sure even smartphones with QVGA screens can run Moodagent. Interested? Syntonetic is offering Moodagent for free (search for it in the Android Market), while getting the money from advertising. An ad-free version will be launched shortly in select countries for $5… Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry.

The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out.

A good number of us at TUAW love Syntonetic's Moodagent app; it creates instant playlists around a mood you select, fitting the music to your state of mind. We reviewed it in December, and caught up with Syntonetic's president Richard French at Macworld who told me that the app had created profiles for over 30 million songs and has had over 1 billion songs requested. I gave him a laundry list of feature requests. He told me that most if not all of my suggestions would be incorporated into the app in the next 3-6 months. True to his word, and right on schedule, Moodagent 2.0 is out including all my requests and a lot more. Richard seems to be passionate about listening to his user base and determined to give them what they want. Moodagent creates genius mixes from your iPhone/iPod touch or iPad music libraries (it requires iPhone OS 3.0 or better). The mood is based on 4 sliders representing emotions (Sensual, Tender, Happy, Angry) and a fifth for Tempo. You move the sliders up or down depending upon your mood and an instant mix is generated either automatically, or based upon a "seed" song of your choosing. Since Macworld, the number of songs requested has risen to well over 2 billion and counting. Moodagent is now 2 apps, a free one that in version 2.0 is supported by advertising, and a paid app (US $4.99), with the only difference being that the paid version doesn't have any advertising and allows you to see one more song on the screen. That's it. Read on to find out about all the changes. All of the new features are very useful with not a bit of fluff or useless eye candy. Here's what's changed: One very minor quibble is that getting to the settings and help screens don't use the usual stylized "i". They can be gotten to by tapping the right facing arrow at the upper right of the screen. Maybe this was done because full instructions and help are found in settings and not as a standalone function, but it did confuse me for a few minutes. All the new changes make a great app even better, and since it's so flexible I've gotten into the habit of using it much more than I use the iPod app. Moodagent, at least as far as I'm concerned, is a must-have Read More

Syntonetic has released version 2.0 of their free mood-related music app, Moodagent. This new version adds some great new features like Twitter and Facebook sharing, playlist length customization, and the ability to exclude tracks or artists. Syntonetic is also now providing a $4.99 ad-free version for those who just can’t stand those advertisements glaring back at them. Moodagent v2.0 now features: • Share your mood and taste in music on Facebook and Twitter • Pull playlist down to renew the list within the slider settings • Customize the desired length of playlist • Lock tracks to the playlist to keep them in your generated playlists. • Exclude tracks or artists you don’t want to show up in your playlists • Supported languages: English, Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish. We all know how well music can affect your mood, right? Moodagent can be used to enhance your current mood, or change it, using custom built playlists of your own music library. On the first launch, Moodagent will ask you to synchronize your library with their online database to get some additional information used to create your mood playlists. Synchronization took about 4-5 minutes for my 2,860 songs and was only unable to profile 179 of them. I find that quite impressive since there are plenty of songs that I have which aren’t popular at all or even in most other databases. You can download the Moodagent Profiler from moodagent.com to attempt to profile the others, but I didn’t feel it to be necessary. Now it’s time to get started. You’ll be shown five colored bars that work like sliders. Each of these sliders is used to accurately pinpoint your current or desired mood: sensual, tender, happy, angry, and tempo. Each time you adjust a slider, Moodagent refreshes the playlist to correspond. There’s also a Genius-type ability to pick a specific track to base your mood playlist from. You’re given the ability to adjust playlist length ( from 5 to 50 tracks ), save a playlist, and exclude certain artists or tracks. All and all I’m more than satisfied with the app’s features and accuracy, and recommend music lovers at least give it a try. Read More
