We present a web-based cross-platform adaptive music player that combines music information retrieval (MIR) and audio processing technologies with the interaction capabilities offered by GPS-equipped mobile devices. The application plays back a list of music tracks, which are linked to geographic paths in a map. The music player has two main enhanced features that adjust to the location of the ...

Music visualization is expected to play an important role in enhancing enjoyment of music. This paper surveys music visualization systems using musical audio signal processing and introduces our prototype system of a music player with a function of visualizing instrumentation.

We investigate how to express emotions and moods in music and how to apply this research to improve player experience in games. The main no...
