People experience joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. In fact, music does too. Happy music can bring us more joy when we're cheerful, while melancholic music allows us to taste a different kind of sadness. But how do we find the right music for a specific mood in the vast ocean of music? Try Youdao Music Box's new feature - Mood Music.

I. Harnessing the Power of Web 2.0

Songs with strong rhythms and high-pitched tones aren't necessarily happy, just as slow-paced, low-pitched songs aren't always sad. How do we distinguish the mood of music? It’s actually "you" who accomplishes all this.

Perhaps in some blog post or forum thread, you've written about your mood at the time and recommended a song. Perhaps under a certain emotion, you compiled a playlist. Maybe...

The Youdao Music team gathers countless voices from "you." Through techniques like extraction and noise reduction, they match music with moods and present it accordingly.

II. Simple and Direct Presentation

Listening to music is a relaxing activity, so it should be as simple as possible.

Last month, JarryJarry mentioned Google Music's "song picking" feature. Domestic music box service providers have also started to emulate it. Surprisingly, a product has already been launched online. Google's song picking selects music based on features such as the type of song you want to listen to. From selection to the start of music playback, there are still a few optional steps. However, doing so allows visitors' preferences to be expressed more clearly, and the system filters music more accurately. On the other hand, Youdao Music Listen at Will is simpler. You only need to click on the corresponding cloud diagram based on your mood while listening to music. To start the music playback, you only need to click the mouse once. This method is faster and more convenient. Filtering is done by selecting one feature to filter songs while ignoring more characteristics of the songs, making the positioning relatively vague. It cannot screen as precisely as Google's song picking, nor can it define the accuracy of song screening by itself. This leaves listeners with no choice but to "listen vaguely."
