One-touch access to music on mobile devices

Published: 12 December 2007 Publication History

Abstract

We present an approach that offers the user a convenient and meaningful way to access her music on a mobile device. By exploiting information on acoustic similarity and community-based music labels, a music collection is automatically structured and described to allow for easy orientation and navigation within the collection. To this end, the complete collection is arranged along a circular playlist path such that similar sounding pieces are grouped together. As a consequence, regions of musical styles emerge. Furthermore, we propose two approaches to derive informative descriptors that are displayed on the different regions, allowing an overview of the whole collection at a glance. For demonstration, we implemented our prototype interface on an Apple iPod.
