Mood Setting Music
June 8, 2009 6:54 AM Subscribe
Where can I find free music that can generate a certain mood?
I'm looking for tracks, preferably ten minutes or longer, which can evoke certain feelings. Like, if I'm feeling stressed out, I can play a track that would calm me down. Or something inspiring if I need to start work or something.
Does such music exist?

Best answer: Does it have to be a single track? If not, get a (free) Pandora account and set up stations programmed to get the mood that you want to achieve. For instance, for calming music set up a station with the band Stars of the Lid as the root.

Bookhouse is right. By tweaking each playlist, you'd have them offering stuff you're sure to like within a few days.
There are also tag-based playlists in last.fm, but you have to pay a membership fee for those.
