Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

On August 12, MySpace Music launched Romeo, a music video service that tailors its playlist based on the user's mood. The service is available on the web or as a free application for iPad.

Romeo asks users to choose a genre; choices include folk, blues, jazz, hip hop, country, or "Play me any genre," among others. The user then selects a mood, such as romantic, chill, studying, working, naughty, dancing, exercising, aggressive, or "Suit any mood." Any combination of genre with mood will produce a different video playlist.

The Romeo app displays a "Love" icon for users to click on when a favorite song is played, allowing for a more tailored listening experience. It also integrates with the iTunes Store to facilitate purchase of music and videos.

Romeo offers a similar service to leading music suggestion services Pandora (available only in the US) and Last.fm, but it is the only application of its kind to play music videos rather than audio only.

MySpace Music Romeo is free as an iPad app or through MySpace.
