After a particularly rough day, few things are more cathartic to get in the car and enjoying some music chosen to match your mood. Sure, you can select one of the "Heads (Radiohead, Portishead, Talking Heads ...) and wallow in self pity on the way home, or - if the Gracenote is on the road - you can choose the way you think and let 's algorithm to do the job.
This is exactly what the music cataloging service is working on a couple of manufacturers and we had some hands on time with a beta version of the software, while in Berlin for the IFA.
The technology classifies all your music on your device (in this case, the Xoom Motorola) and is based on several criteria (all artists BPM), automagically groups of songs in different categories.
The interface uses a 10x10 grid with each axis representing a different mood. Optimistic for clues while enjoying a winding stretch of road? Move the pointer to the positive light and energetic. Lady-friend just dump? Bring it back to its lowest point between darkness and silence. It's very clever, could integrate streaming music services, is ready to hit vehicles in the next two years and you can see our demo video after the jump.
