Abstract

In order to navigate through music libraries the common practice is to browse through lists of meta data. However, for libraries with thousands of songs a visual view of the library is more practical for browsing. There are standalone applications for music library visualization which use content-based features of the songs. These applications usually lack usability and features compared to sophisticated music players. We combine the positive aspects of both areas by providing a library visualization plug-in for an existing successful music player (i.e. Banshee Media Player). Our plug-in enables the user to browse a two-dimensional point representation using different levels of abstraction to accomplish the goal of creating a playlist containing songs he or she wants to listen to.
