Music listening history explorer: an alternative approach for browsing music listening history habits
2012
Nowadays, people spend time using services to track their music listening history. Although these services provide statistics and small graphics/charts, they are mainly used to record and to allow direct access to the information, not providing any visualization and exploration functionality. In this paper we describe a new approach for browsing and visualizing music listening histories, which combines a timeline-based visualization, with a set of synchronized-views and an interactive filtering mechanism to provide a flexible and easy to use solution. This was complemented with brushing and highlighting techniques that allow users to observe trends on artists, albums and tracks listening. Experimental evaluation with users revealed that they were able to complete all the proposed tasks with a low error rate, and that they found the solution easy to use. Moreover, users liked our approach for browsing and exploring listening histories, emphasizing its flexibility and effectiveness, and founding the full experience engaging and rewarding.
