 # moodbar
 
+The Moodbar is an algorithm for creating a colorful visual representation of the contents of an audio file, giving an idea of its "mood" (this is a rather fanciful term for the simple analysis it actually does).
+The Moodbar was invented by Gavin Wood and Simon O'Keefe for inclusion in the Amarok music player.
+This package contains a GStreamer plugin with elements that are used in the moodbar analysis, and an application that actually does the analysis.
