1. A system comprising:

a sensor in a vehicle to detect a measurement of a user; and

a media selector machine to:

determine a current user state score based on the detected measurement of the user;

select a target user state score for the user based on the current user state score;

access play counts that quantify playback of a plurality of audio media files and a mapping of user state scores to a number of media play counts of the plurality of audio media files;

compare play counts of the plurality of media files to a threshold number of playbacks;

categorize respective audio media files of the plurality of audio media files as: (i) familiar media files when the corresponding play counts satisfy the threshold number of playbacks: and (ii) unfamiliar media files when the corresponding play counts do not satisfy the threshold number of playbacks; and

select, an audio media file from the plurality of audio media files to present to the user based on the number of media play counts of the audio media file, the target user state score, and the audio media file being a familiar media file or an unfamiliar media file.
