Description Chris 2008-01-30 08:57:10 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Debian stable Packages
OS:                Linux

Moodbar recognizes patterns and styles in audio files.  If it could generate automatic playlists using this already known information, it would be a nice, elegant feature.
Comment 1 Soren Harward 2008-10-09 04:12:03 UTC
I have this feature in the pipeline for post-2.0.
Comment 2 Lydia Pintscher 2008-10-17 01:12:11 UTC
setting target to 2.1 for now so we don't forget about this report. Might need to be readjusted depending on Soren's plans/time.

Since trunk is open again... Soren, your turn :)
Comment 4 Myriam Schweingruber 2009-12-28 09:19:38 UTC
Moodbar is already integrated in the upcomming Amarok 2.2.2, please read the release notes on http://amarok.kde.org for instructions.
Comment 5 Vito De Tullio 2009-12-29 09:52:41 UTC
please reopen: this whishlist is not about "show the moodbar into the interface", it's about "generate a dynamic playlist finding similar songs using .mood files"

This is the holy grail of features, the type you don't know you need until you have it. Then, you can't live without it!

My Samsung S3 has something called "Music Squares" which basically scans through all your music, and fingerprints each file in a database. Then, you can select what "mood" of music you want to listen to, and it generates a playlist with that sort of music in it. 

This is what I think the original poster intended as an alternate use of .mood files. 
I have many gigabytes of music, covering a broad selection of tastes. A feature which would let me select music based on some auditory fingerprint like .mood files, or a similar algorithm would increase the enjoyment I get from my music collection immensely, as it currently just plays on "random, all, except for the songs I have marked as awful"

Also, definitely not a duplicate of bug 220327, as that deals with .mood file generation, which is completely different than playlist generation.
