It’s definitely feasible. The thing that stopped us from doing this last time we discussed it (admittedly, it has been a while since moods came up) was that the data is kind of lame, and we didn’t see a whole lot of value at the product level:
- Moods/themes data is at the album level, not the track level (where it belongs, IMO)
- The tagging behavior on the part of individual editors over at AllMusic seems to be extremely subjective.
- Albums are tagged with way too many moods/themes, so it’s not clear where to put them in the UI without creating tons of clutter.
If they had tagged at the track level, it would have been a goldmine for radio.
Any thoughts on these issues?
