Innovative User Interfaces for Accessing Music Libraries on Mobile Devices A SOM Based Music Browser for Mobile Devices

چکیده
A music browser MobileSOM with a new intuitive user interface designed for mobile devices with a built-in touch screen is presented. Music titles can be browsed, previewed and added to playlists picked from a Self-Organizing Map (SOM), on which similar pieces of music are grouped together. The songs from the created and editable playlists can be played on mobiles or streamed to an external player. The software, which is entirely programmed in J2ME, has been successfully tested on emulators and hardware devices by various manufactures that support the Java Multimedia API (MMAPI). A comparison between those mobiles in an emulatorand a real world environment is given.
