receiving the media asset likely to be played at a later time, the media asset comprising an audio portion;
determining an emotion descriptor corresponding to the audio portion of the media asset;
identifying, in an emoticon database, an emoticon based on the identified emotion descriptor in the media asset;
calculating, based at least in part on emotion characteristics of the media asset, an emotion score;
comparing the emotion score against a threshold score; and
