Abstract

This paper reports a user study on retrieving, consuming and managing digital music content related to mobile music consumption. We study the personal relationship people have with music entertainment technology and content, and explore how music is enjoyed on the move. We also look at the typical actions related to personal music management, how they are accomplished, and where they take place. The study was carried out in New York City and Hong Kong, and the paper also reports the differences found in mobile music consumption between these cultural settings.
