MoodLogic?

So what are some advantages of MoodLogic over the competition?

Hmm, thanks for the info homicat. It sounds like a cool program.

You can read a review of MoodLogic 2.0 here: CNet Review ( http://www.cnet.com/software/0-3227898-1204-20185577.html?)

Has anyone used it recently? Has the quality/quantity of the information in their database improved?

I also bought MoodLogic recently and I use it with both ephPod and MusicMatch 8. I have about 1200 songs on my ipod and MoodLogic organized them by mood, tempo, and genre combinations extremely quickly and accurately (once they were activated). You can also do instant mixes by artist and mood and transfer the playlists to the ipod in moments. I use MusicMatch to supertag and ephPod to sync my music folders. MoodLogic looks and feels like an extension of ephPod and is very easy to use. It is true that first time profiling or "activation" is slow (I can't imagine using it without broadband) but subsequent activations are very quick. The complaints that the MoodLogic database is too small are also true to an extent. They have a huge library of profiled songs but they all are compiled from users so you are dependent on their weird libraries. It only recognized about half of my 1200 songs at first but now is up to about 3/4 recognition about a month later as I reactivate every now and then. Since it depends on users to enter the mood profiles it is unpredictable as to what songs it will recognize. It seems to recognize mainstream radio music best but also profiled a lot of my offbeat stuff too. A lot of extremely popular songs were not recognized at all. The good news is that you can profile most of the leftover songs by hand (time consuming but thought-provoking procedure) and they will then become mixable. It's tagging is also dependent on users so can be unpredictable, I would recommend not using MoodLogics autotagging feature if you are particular about your tags. Anyway, I was very excited when I first found it. It did such good job on the 50 song sample activation I bought it and the devicelink very quickly for $39. Then I was extremely disappointed in the low profiling ratio until I started mixing the songs. It is not perfect but I can honestly say it changed the way I listen to music on my ipod for the better...and I mean way better. I love what it can do. The only problem I now have is that once my music is mixed on the ipod I rarely need MoodLogic again unless I wipe my ipod or add a few more songs. The instant mixing would be awesome if I listened to music on a desktop with great sound system a lot but that is something I don't do. Overall I have mixed feelings about MoodLogic. As imperfect as it is I give MoodLogic itself two thumbs up. I love what it has done for my ipod music listening and the product will just keep getting better. The price is the only hesitation. I would say it is just worth the $39 if you have a large library and really, really like listening to your music. Hope this helps!

I dislike this program... Alot! it takes ages to scan all files on my hdd, and its not even that good.

God this is so hard to use!
