The digital music offering and consumption is rapidly increasing and more and more portable devices are offering music listening capabilities. Mobile network bandwidth is also increasing but streaming the music isn't yet common. Most of the mobile music players still rely on locally stored music. They also lack possibilities to request proper music recommendations from online music catalog. This paper presents an evaluation of SuperMusic: prototype streaming context-aware mobile music service. SuperMusic is bringing a large 200 000 track test music catalog available everywhere and including two different music recommendation methods in addition to social interaction of the users. A five week user trial was conducted with 42 users to find out the feasibility of the SuperMusic concept, to find out critical design issues and to evaluate the performance of the music recommendation methods compared to random recommendations. SuperMusic concept satisfied 97% of the users and it was seen as a potential killer application in the music domain with some modifications. The evaluation brings up many suggested design improvements including rebuilding the user interface, improving the streaming of music and the recommendation algorithms, in addition to further enhancing social interaction between the users.
