Abstract

The digital format of music led to the necessity of creating big music libraries in the Internet, which provide the user with great possibilities of acquiring and listening to music. These Digital Music Libraries (DMLs) should fulfill the user communities' needs. Since DMLs do not deal with pure text, but with sound and its several representations, special treatment is needed during their development. This paper presents the crucial issues concerning the implementation of a DML and the user-DML interaction. The implementation issues are categorized in a useful framework taking into account the keys of success of the most popular DMLs worldwide, while the interaction issues are applied on MELIRIS music repository.
