Facial expression provides current mind state of person. The most natural way to express emotions is using facial expressions. Human often use nonverbal cues such as hand gestures, facial expressions, and tone of the voice to express feelings in interpersonal communications. It is very time consuming and difficult to create and manage large playlists and to select songs from these playlists. Thus, it would be very helpful if the music player itself selects a song according to the current mood of the user. Thus, an application can be developed to minimize these efforts of managing playlists. In this project, we will built an application that will automatically detect the mood of the user and present him a playlist of songs, which is suitable for his current mood. The face is captured using webcam and that image is passed under different stages to detect the mood or emotion of the user. The application is thus developed in such a way that it can manage content accessed by user, analyze the image properties and determine the mood of the user.
