Creating a playlist
You can use Music Sommelier (Mood Analyzer) to create a playlist
When you use SD-Jukebox to record tracks on your PC, Music Sommelier
(Mood Analyzer) automatically forms an impression of the track. The
impressions can be used as the basis for creating a playlist. You can
create groups of tracks for playlists that tend to give a certain impression
by selecting the impression instead of selecting the tracks individually.
You can also create random track groups by simply selecting patterns for
track progression.
Music Sommelier forms impressions about tracks based on their tempo,
beat, and other characteristics. The impression results are displayed in the
impression map organized by two axes. The activity axis ranges from quiet
to active, and the emotive axis ranges from mechanical to human. The
impression map shows various tracks as dots, and the positions of the
dots indicate the track impression.

• People form various impressions of tracks. It is conceivable that Music Sommelier
track selections will not necessarily suit your tastes.
• It is possible to apply Music Sommelier to audio data besides tracks, for example,
to speech recordings. However, they might be registered beyond the range of the
impression map, which would prevent display.
• Static and other recording elements can influence the impression formed by Music
Sommelier. Thus, if the same track is recorded twice, it may be shown in different
positions on the impression map.
