Product Description:
SonicMood bathes you in gentle tones played by selected instruments to calm and relax you while you work on your computer. Like "Mood Chimes", notes which sound as if produced by chimes blown by the wind, the patterns never repeat, are gentle and harmonious, and very soothing. There's 21 different sets of "chimes" using different instruments, including bells, crystals, kalimbas, glockenspiels, violins, and many others. You can add your own Moods or edit the 21 existing Moods. You won't find anything like this on a CD...
What's new in this version:
Fixed a BIG bug which caused SonicMood to ask you to re-register, or told you that your 30 days were up, if you quit SonicMood by selecting "Quit SonicMood ..." from the "SonicMood ..." menu bar instead of clicking on the "close box" in the SonicMood TitleBar.
- Added a "chime" window which displays chimes moving to the sounds. Added a "disclosure triangle" near the bottom to show/hide the "Chime Motion" slider.
- Added a "License Type" entry in the "About SonicMood" window (Apple-A).
- Added a "Show Scene Only" item in the "Scene" menu. Added a "disclosure triangle" in the scene area to show/hide the Scene Only view.
- Added a "disclosure triangle" at the top left of the SonicMood window to replace the function of the "small" button. Clicking on this disclosure triangle will make the SonicMood window much smaller.
- Can now "drag & drop" a picture or file (jpg, bmp, gif, tiff, png, photoshop, or pict) onto the scene area and it will display immediately. It becomes a permanent part of your scenic pictures. It is scaled to fit the scene area and the aspect ratio of the image is preserved.
- In addition to the picture "drag & drop", you can drag & drop a "Mood" file (yellow note icon - if you've saved any) onto the scene area and SonicMood will use that Mood file. It's equivalent to selecting "Open Mood File" from the "File" menu and specifying that file to open.
- You can now delete the "default" scenes (the ones which come with SonicMood) if you want.
- Added a "Scene Timer" (in the "Options" menu). You can use it to cycle through all the Scenic pictures SonicMood has and you've added. It's like a "slide show". You can have SonicMood select the pictures randomly, sequentially, or you can specify which scenes to show.
- For both the "Scene Timer" and the "Mood Timer", you can now click on a "Set" button in the group area (in top left of SonicMood window) to bring up the timer window for that timer.
- Added an "Open Default Mood File" item on the "File" menu.
- Added a tabbed panel to allow easy switching between the "Mood Edit" controls and the Scenic display. This replaces the "Controls" button. The "Options", "Show Controls" menu item is gone too.
- Moved the "Add a Mood", "Delete Mood", and "Reset Mood" buttons to the bottom right of the "Mood Edit" tab. Their functions are also available under the "Mood" menu bar item.
- If you add a new Mood, it is initially a "clone" of the Mood in effect before the "Add". Before this the new Mood would always be the same - tubular bells with generic control settings.
- The names of the picture files you drop onto the scene area are now saved. A "popup menu" has been added below the "Mood" popup which lists the scenes. You can easily go to any scene by selecting it from this popup. You can also edit the scene names - change them to anything you like.
- You can right-click (control-click) on the scene area and get a "context list" of things you can do. Most scene manipulation functions are available from this list.
- The notes can now appear anywhere in the scenic picture.
- Changed the default scenic pictures. There are now five (instead of six), but you can add your own. There are a few differences in the scenes and they fill the wider space better.
- Eliminated the list of Moods in the Mood menu. It was causing too many problems and isn't really needed anymore with the Moods popup menu.
- Removed the "Mood Timer" menu bar item. Folded the functions into the "Mood" menu bar item.
- Fixed a bug which prevented the current Mood from being properly set up and displayed after opening a Mood file.
- Fixed a problem with tick spacing on the slide controls which display tick marks.
- Fixed a problem with the close buttons not working or not working properly on the Help and Chime windows.
- Fixed a couple of display mode bugs.

An excellent value - Version: 4.8.6.2, 7/30/2008 12:03PM PST

You can adjust all kinds of levels to the music or effect files, or just select one of the many presets available. The developer responds quickly and the recent upgrades added more functionality and usability elements. This is mood music/background sound that is very effective in helping concentration or in relaxing. Highly recommended.
