English abstract:
With the rising popularity of digital music archives the need for new access methods such as interactive exploration or similarity-based search become significant. In this paper we present the PlaySOM, as well as the PocketSOMPlayer, two novel interfaces allowing to browse a music collection by navigating a map of clustered music tracks and to select regions of interest containing similar tracks for playing. The PlaySOM system is primarily designed to allow interaction via a large-screen device, whereas the PocketSOMPlayer is implemented for mobile devices, supporting both local as well as streamed audio replay. This approach offers content-based organization of music as an alternative to conventional navigation of audio archives, i.e. flat or hierarchical listings of music tracks that are sorted and filtered by meta information.
