Abstract

In music information retrieval (MIR), there are two main research directions, which are based either on a folder hierarchy and metadata, or on the actual acoustic content. We believe that both content-based and hierarchy-based retrieval have their respective strengths for browsing and organizing music collections, and that the integration of content analysis techniques in metadata-based media UIs can lead to more powerful UIs. In this paper we present a prototype, in which audio analysis techniques and user feedback are integrated into an interactive UI for browsing and organizing large music collections. We also provide visual assistance to support non-visual perception of music. We discussed our system with test users and received encouragement as well as valuable suggestions for future re-search.
