Abstract

Music and mood carry a strong relationship, which is employed very effectively by classical music, Hollywood’s soundtracks, and pop bands. Affective computing can provide support in selecting music that fits to a given mood. We describe a system that addresses a full range of functionality. It allows the user to semi-automatically tag music with mood descriptions, determines mood from sensors or from the state of a computer game, and plays appropriate music.
