A Spatial Audio User Interface for Generating Music Playlists
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a user interface (UI) designed for non-visual interaction with a music collection. The UI system can be utilized to navigate a large list of musical items organized in a hierarchical structure, and to generate personal playlists. The interface only relies on stereo audio output and tactile input using a limited small of keys. This interaction scheme enables the use of the UI in situations where visual feedback is limited on the device, or when visual attention from the user is not possible or desired. However, the interface was also designed to be compatible with and complementary to visual UI concepts found in existing audio players. The design and implementation of this spatial audio UI is described in the paper. Preliminary subjective tests are also reported regarding the immediate usability of this interface, when in ‘eyesfree’ mode on a handheld computer.

Collaborative Music Consumption through Mobile Devices
The immersive growth of digitally available audio files calls for novel forms of interaction and consumption. There are many different approaches how to navigate and organize audio collections, but most of them do not offer much more than some kind of scrolling through lists, sometimes fancier, often not. A novel form of playlist creation is possible through Music Maps, which provide a interact...
متن کاملTowards Music Captioning: Generating Music Playlist Descriptions
Descriptions are often provided along with recommendations to help users’ discovery. Recommending automatically generated music playlists (e.g. personalised playlists) introduces the problem of generating descriptions. In this paper, we propose a method for generating music playlist descriptions, which is called as music captioning. In the proposed method, audio content analysis and natural lan...
متن کاملAn Implementation of a Simple Playlist Generator Based on Audio Similarity Measures and User Feedback
This paper presents an implementation of a simple playlist generator. An audio-based music similarity measure and simple heuristics are used to create playlists given minimum user input. The ultimate goal or this work is to conduct a field study, i.e., to run the system on the users’ personal collection and study the usage behavior over a period of time. The functions include, for example, allo...
متن کاملSteerable Playlist Generation by Learning Song Similarity from Radio Station Playlists
This paper presents an approach to generating steerable playlists. We first demonstrate a method for learning song transition probabilities from audio features extracted from songs played in professional radio station playlists. We then show that by using this learnt similarity function as a prior, we are able to generate steerable playlists by choosing the next song to play not simply based on...
متن کاملLearning a Gaussian Process Prior for Automatically Generating Music Playlists
This paper presents AutoDJ: a system for automatically generating music playlists based on one or more seed songs selected by a user. AutoDJ uses Gaussian Process Regression to learn a user preference function over songs. This function takes music metadata as inputs. This paper further introduces Kernel Meta-Training, which is a method of learning a Gaussian Process kernel from a distribution o...
