The DJ must be familiar with the concepts of a digital music library and a playlist. A digital music library is simply a collection of music audio files stored on a computer. A playlist, in its most general form, is simply a list of songs.
Scenario Tasks
Add Music
- Add the song "Hey Jude" by the Beatles to the library.
- Add the "Music" folder to the library
Playlist Management
*Add 3 songs from the music library to the default playlist
- Create a new playlist called "Friday"
- Change from default playlist to "Friday"
Voting
- vote "Like" for Song 1
- Vote "Like" for Song 2 then change Song 2 back to no vote
- Vote "Dislike" for song 5(Which is offscreen)
Observations
Usability problems you discovered from the testing. Describe what users did, but don't record users' names.
First prototype (Wednesday):
- User 2 tried to play songs directly
- Users found party control conusing
- User 2 tired to use file menu to add songs to playlist
- All users tried to drag and drop directly from tree view of songs to playlist.
- None used the detail view pane
Second Prototype (Monday) :
- insert stuff here
Prototype iteration
- User 1 had trouble with add task until they found File menu
- Drag and drop from only a single detail pane made more sense to users.
- Users tried to create a new playlist by clicking the tab bar instead of using the file menu(Ala chrome tabs)
- All users tried to click Vote arrows instead of dragging and dropping
Prototype iteration
Because users generally found the tree view for artist/album organization redundant with a detail pane for songs, we decided to have a single details pane. Although we did not originally have the ability to move the song voting sliders by clicking the arrows(we wanted to have dragging only), almost all users tried clicking first. Because of this, we made the arrows clickable as wellYou did two rounds of paper prototyping. Describe how your prototype changed between those two rounds.
