Songza: My New Favorite App

I'm not a big app junkie, but I do love my music.  I recently stumbled upon this app, and if you are a techie music lover like me, you have GOTTA check this out.

I've always wanted an app that matched music to mood successfully, and I've finally found it. Now, now, don't abandon Spotify - this is more of a web streamed radio, similar to Pandora.  You can still create a playlist based on artist, genre, and track.  It's the mood, or "theme" feature, that is priceless (no really, it doesn't cost anything!).

You can choose what day of the week it is, and what time of the day (morning, late morning, afternoon, etc), and Songza will pick several moods you might be experiencing.  For example, if it is a Tuesday at 6pm, your options might include "Dinner", "Commute", "Road Rage", "Unwinding After a Long Day".  Now, try Tuesday at 12am.  You might choose "Reading", "Staying Up All Night", or "Work/Study".

Once you pick a mood, you can then choose the genre you were in the mood for.  This could be soft jazz, or bass-heavy hip hop!  After a genre is chosen, Songza gives you the choice of three specific and different playlists you can pick.  Then, listen away...

It's a flawless app.  No commercials in between songs, and is available on your iPad, iPhone, or on their website for all day streaming.

I've mentioned it's free.  So, what's the risk?  Try it today!
