Basically, I don't listen to music according to mood. Even if I've got a bad day, I'd play something upbeating, though that wouldn't make me more happy, long-term-wise.
Music puts me into a certain mood, but only after some time. Listening to one single song doesn't change my mood instantly, but e.g. listening to an album for let's say 50 minutes implies a change.
I'm speaking of listening to music only - music combined with visuals, furnished with sound effects (e.g. movies) will reach you emotionally more easily than music itself.
