Extract text from Moodbar data files (MOOD)
To convert MOOD Moodbar files to another format, you need Amarok or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Amarok Moodbar Data File" file type, you need software like Amarok or a similar tool.
A .mood file is an Amarok Moodbar Data file containing no audio, but rather mathematical data that visually represents a song's frequency and dynamics. When playing a track in the open-source Amarok music player, this data renders a colorful progress bar - known as the "moodbar" - that lets users instantly see the loud, quiet, or intense parts of a track.
The primary disadvantage of the .MOOD format is the immense confusion it causes. Because the file is saved in the exact same folder as the music (usually named something like song.mp3.mood), users often mistakenly assume it is a proprietary audio file. In reality, it is completely unplayable in standard media players like iTunes or VLC, and it unnecessarily clutters your organized music directories.
Because it contains zero sound data, you cannot convert a .MOOD file to standard audio formats like MP3, WAV, or FLAC. Any standard audio converter will simply crash when attempting to process it. If you need to salvage the actual music, you must locate the original audio file. However, if you are a developer looking to analyze the underlying color codes, you could extract the raw data to TXT, CSV, or XML formats.
This file format is notoriously difficult to process because it is a closed, proprietary visual cache designed exclusively for one specific Linux-based application. Standard online converters fail because they mistakenly assume the file contains compressed audio. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded text format, viewing or extraction may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your MOOD file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted FKT, DIRECTORY and SGRD files.
If you want to convert MOOD file to MP3, WAV, AAC, FLAC, OGG, WMA, M4A, AIFF, OPUS, ALAC, APE or WV, you can use Amarok or similar software from the "Audio Visualisation Data" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert MIDI, AAC, TTA, AU, WV, DTS, MID, FLAC, RA, MP3, PCM or WAV files to MOOD, try Amarok or another comparable tool in the "Audio Visualisation Data" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our MOOD converter.
