How many times have you been browsing your music library with no idea what to play? You know what mood you're in or what you're going to do, but you just don't know what music you have that fits that mood. You probably spend five to ten minutes searching your library for something interesting, and you end up settling on MGMT... again.

Well, regret your music selections no longer! MooDJ is here to help you make “mood playlists”. With MooDJ you can visualize your listening history (from Last.fm) and select groups of songs from the last time you were in a certain mood or performing a certain activity. MooDJ then does the rest. It will make a playlist with the songs that you selected, and also generate recommendations based on those selections.

Smarter than a Genius: because MooDJ generates recommendations from more than one song

More obedient than Pandora: because we recommend music that you have and you can control what to play and when

(This addon lovingly crafted on Linux)

Tutorial

1. Launch MooDJ and login to your Last.fm account
2. Browse your listening history in the MooDJ calendar and click and drag down to select songs in a period of time.
3. Tag the “listening session” by clicking on the tab and naming it (working, dancing, mellow etc.)
4. MooDJ will make a playlist based on that session with all the songs you selected plus similar recommendations
5. In the playlist view, you can select songs to “thumbs-up” or “thumbs-down” by highlighting one or more songs and clicking the button.
6. In the Addons->MooDJ->Preferences Menu you can change your Last.fm username and the number of recommendations in a playlist
