Damage Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Walkmens get MoodLogic SupportMoodLogic your Walkman (takes you to instruction page)It was a rather silent release/upgrade, marked 12/24, and most of us missed it. Unfortunately, you get "100 credits (I can only assume transfers or tracks or whatever)" and not the full software for free. If the screen shot doesn't give it away, MoodLogic basically brings iTunes smart playlisting to your library, fixes ID3 tags, etc. So, the question begs itself: if it were free, would it make a difference in whether or not Sony devices ease of use? I'll try this for myself and let you know later down the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Tires Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Wasn't Moodlogic a free download when Sonicstage 1.5 was available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doclloyd Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 I really think it would be interesting to see Moodlogic and Sony to work together on being able to do this with your ATRAC-based audio collection. Moodlogic has worked with Sony to provide the "MoodMix" feature in the Connect store. I don't see why they couldn't provide this functionality within SonicStage. Would be a neat feature. "Provide me with mellow electronica - 25 tracks" and create a group to transfer to MD. :-) The possibilities... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage Posted January 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 (edited) Tried it, there are several glaring flaws:1. Net Connection is a must to get most out of it. If you're on the road or otherwise, you're hosed.2. MP3 only, no ATRAC audio support. There is a better way of managing MP3s than Mood Logic. Interesting concept, nonetheless.3. Limited to 100 songs to be activated, so you're dealing with a severly crippled product.The new Windows Media 10 does smart playlisting ala iTunes (probably not as intuitive or easy), so you can use that to create a M3U Playlist, then export to MD using SonicStage. That works, not as elegant as iTunes mind you, but you can still set up your 4-star and 5-star songs of a certain genre (or ones you haven't listened in a while) to a size of Several GB (or time) then import that using SonicStage.Not elegant, but there is always a way! Engage Shuffle Play, and you got your own iPod Shuffle (), or use the "advanced search"/navigation function with your HiMD and voila, who cares if your tracks are in 1 huge group?

ROMBUSTERS Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 what is it? just a way for the disc to be completely randomized based on some input? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananatree Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 You can get more credits by giving your input on song files, to help out the community. Or atleast you used to be able to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeriyn Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 I'm boring. I listen to albums. In order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage Posted January 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 what is it? just a way for the disc to be completely randomized based on some input?←Basically. If you are jealous of auto playlisting and such, then you use this or other playlister and use SonicStage to upload. OrIt's a slighlty easier way of handling MP3s than with SonicStage though it has its faults (the conversion to). Well, for now anywhoo. Based on some of the conversational details that's come out today, I'd expect these workarounds to be temporary, especially if Sony decided to jump on the Media Transfer Protocol.Interesting to say the least. And yea, I'm with aeriyn, Album listening is perfectly fine for me. Besides, I lack post-its for my own HiMDShuffle. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
