Design goals
Primary user = Jamie Simple, intuitive interface Easily access all forms of music in one place Ability to make mixes of music
Also satisfy the others: Juliet: one-click music-playing John: easily tag songs correctly Jordan: track tastes and hear unusual music
Initial scenarios
Listen to a specific album Listen to background music in a random
order while working Share music with your friends (give and take
music information) Categorize music from scratch
Scenarios
Play a single song Play several particular songs Play a blend of music Let the player select songs for you, based on
your earlier preferences
Lessons learned
What is different enough? Users are used to certain interface paradigms.
Need to focus the design space. Making people understand a design that is
not fully implemented is a challenge Life is average cases; testing is edge cases
