All Music + MoodLogic == All Mood Music?
All Music is purchasing Mood Logic. Here's the press release. All Music has one of the deepest repositories of music metadata, as well as some excellent playlist generating technology, while Mood Logic has a built up a good collection of social data, an orthogonal set of mood labels as well as a nifty desktop app (unfortunately windows only). MoodLogic was one of the first desktop music recommenders and really broke new ground, but seems to have languished over the last few years (they haven't added a question to their FAQ in over two years). It will be interesting to see where this goes ... perhaps AMG with its metadata and playlist generation technology is thinking about moving onto the desktop. Thanks Zac for the tip.
