To use musicovery, first you define your mood on the "moodpad" spectrum. The spectrum ranges from dark to positive, energetic to calm, and everywhere in between. You can also opt for the "dancepad"feature, which provides a spectrum of speeds. Musicovery then creates a playlist for you based upon your selection.
You can further narrow your music selection by specifying only certain genres. You can ban certain songs from your playlists, and add others to be played more frequently. They even have a dial that controls what era the music is from! So, if for instance, you're having an 80s dance craving, you can move your mood somewhere in the vicinity of "energetic and positive," specify the 80s era, and select pop and rock from the music genre categories. Voila! Now add some big hair, leg warmers, and Molly Ringwald and you'll be dancing the night away.
Musicovery is also available for your own itunes music! Download the application, and it will select music directly from your library based on your mood specifications.
