The decision data of human judgments with preferences are often vague in many real life cases. Human judgments with preferences are often unclear and hard to estimate by exact numerical values. So that the traditional ways of using crisp values are inadequate. The relationship among criteria and choosing and rating alternatives based on criterion are often expressed in terms of linguistic terms by the experts. These causal relationships among criterion have been investigated by the Decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) with the use of trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. Furthermore, fuzzy TOPSIS method is used to express the rankings of alternatives based on criterion. In this paper the case study on choosing emotional music composition is discussed based on musical features by the proposed hybrid technique of Fuzzy TOPSIS and DEMATEL using trapezoidal fuzzy number.
