Happy Notes, Happy Memories: Musical Cues Trigger Different Autobiographical Memories
Happy memories spring to mind much faster than sad, scary or peaceful ones. Moreover, if you listen to happy or peaceful music, you recall positive memories, whereas if you listen to emotionally scary or sad music, you recall largely negative memories from your past. Those are two of the findings from an experiment in which study participants accessed autobiographical memories after listening to unknown pieces of music varying in intensity or emotional content.
The research is in Memory & Cognition. (full open access)

It is very affective for me... it is what I refer to meditating "freestyle"... and I have several playlists for different moods and if I am feeling particularly adventurous I will play the station created for you on the YouTube music app just to see where it takes me.
