When you lay it out like that, I think those three moods apply to me as well. There are times I get stuck on a particular album that I listen to till it's completely worn out, then I revisit it a long time in the future.
What would you say is so 'broken' with music selection with algorithms? I can't put my finger on it (pun intended)
What's your library like? All physical?

Most algorithms stick to one genre until you seek another, then it sticks to that other genre. While this is fine for a lot of people; it's not acceptable to me as my favourite music tends to range from a lot of genres.
My library is about half and half. though if you don't include my own music; it would be primarily physical. There are some recordings that are only accessable digital.
I usually utilize P2P as a library kind of thing; listen to an album or so from an artist or band or composer... then delete it; while i keep the ones i really enjoy and would do with the second mood.
I rarely ever stream; it's the bane of musical diversity.
