Cool idea! Too bad I can't play the audio (Safari on iOS).

Interesting. I'd like to see something similar for shapes. For me, shapes feel like they're more like sounds.

Of course then you have to design some kind of shape-o-matic interface.

you could use the color, translate it to mood, and graph it.

i've fiddled with the graphing from mysql to a 3d(css3, html5) cube with points. link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7727742/playlistsite6/index5.html

use it with this as a template for mapping the emotion: http://www.mir.uncc.edu/docs/goal_Emotions.htm

I just kind of hit a road-block with getting access to music people wanted to listen to. if you can hack something up with what I've fiddled with, or take any inspiration from it, that would be awesome.

Tells me it can't play because of the region (Norway) and also the text in the player is nearly unreadable with some sort of color distortion.

Same here, in UK :(. I hate the idea of restricting media content to geographical regions.

Same here in France...
