While Moodstream may be geared towards the folks in the creative department to help them design the next big thing, there's nothing wrong with using it as a screen saver. That is if you like a screen saver that doesn't actually save your screen and displays random pictures with music based on your current mood.
In order to get your mood on, you'll need to adjust a few sliders. Moods range from happy to sad, calm to lively, humorous to serious and so on. If that's more control than you would like, preset moods are also available.
Moodstream pulls in photos from Getty Images' vast database along with music from Pump Audio's Soundtrack. If you like the current mood you can save it to your moodboard (registration required) so you can come back to it later. You also have the option of purchasing any of the images or music on the spot.
So even if you're not the creative type but enjoy having random pictures and music playing give Moodstream a try.

If I Had!!
If I had a 10 to 20 megabyte per second connection. If I had a dedicated entertainment PC. The concept is cool but the home PC is more of tool to the house than a mood or entertainment center. Soon when the threshold between TV an PC's is completely merged. Yes the day is coming when your TV will include a keyboard and mouse, PC's will be fully intergrated into the TV.

I've got a 12 megabit per second and Moodstream works just fine with it. Moodstream seems to stream small looping content. And, it works just fine with in that context.
I suspect the first poster has never heard of Digital TV Tuner add-ons, various Home Theatre PC components and Media Servers. With such platforms the TV and PC have already converged.
