The Party Vote Music Library Visualization System enables seamless music collaboration among closely knit social groups, creating a dynamic experience without playlists or DJs. Designed for 10-20 participants, the system features over 500 songs, ensuring 6 hours of non-repeating music. Participants vote for songs, albums, or artists, adjusting their weights to cluster similar songs for optimal playback. This lightweight and user-friendly interface encourages engagement and enhances group understanding of music preferences while addressing challenges such as clustering algorithms and coding complexities.

Previous Literature • Jukola • Pandora • MUSICtable
Visualization Goals • Co-present music collaboration for closely knit social groups • Lightweight • Enable system understanding • Optimal for participants
System Usage • 10-20 participants • 500+ songs • 6 hours of non-repeating music.
Voting & Music Selection • All songs start with weighting of 0 • Participants vote for a song/album or artist • Weight = Weight + (1/# of songs) • Similar songs also affected by votes. • High dimensional cluster/hull defined by songs with weight > 0 • Songs in this cluster are potentially played.
Challenges • MDS and Convex Hull/Clustering Algorithm. • Lots and LOTS of coding • Evaluation and distance metric tweaking
Visualization Goals Revisited • Co-present music collaboration for closely knit social groups ✔ • Lightweight ✔ • Enable system understanding ✔ • Optimal for participants ✔
