MoodSnap founder and CEO David Blutenthal, you only have one solitary option for picking music by image, and it was released this morning: Moodsnap, “the world’s first image-based music streaming app.”
This app’s well-designed interface consists of a column of evocative images to swipe through — a couple staring away from each other; another couple definitely not staring away from each other; a jogger’s mid-stride foot; a beach party; and so on.
Tap the photo that strikes you, and you’re on your way. There’s no other way to select music in Moodsnap, although it does adapt to your taste as you favorite and skip songs. You don’t need buttons to control the music; instead, you think about where you want to go. Slide the song away to the left, and a new one starts. Slide the song down, and you’ll rise “above” it, triggering a song with a higher energy level. Slide the song down, and you’ll travel “down” to a track with a lower energy level.
Two more things to know: First, Moodsnap requires both iOS and Spotify Premium, (just like all the other iOS Spotify apps we rounded up earlier), so unless you have an iDevice and pay Spotify ten bucks a month, you’re not using it.
How interesting is this. By adding this app, you can choose music that fits your mood, by selecting a photograph you like. Honestly sometimes I can't choose a song by how I feel, I need a an image representation of that emotion. And as a Spotify user you can save the songs that you hear.
