Abstract

User studies focusing upon real-life music information needs, uses and seeking behaviours are still very scarce in the music information retrieval (MIR) and music digital library (MDL) fields. We are conducting a multigroup survey in an attempt to acquire information that can help eradicate false assumptions in designing MIR systems. Our goal is to provide an empirical basis for MIR/MDL system development. In this paper, we present our preliminary findings and analyses based on the 427 user responses we have received to date. Two major themes have been uncovered thus far that could have a significant influence the future development of successful MIR/MDL systems. First, people display “public information-seeking ” behaviours by making use of collective knowledge and/or opinions of others about music such as reviews, ratings, recommendations, etc. in their music information-seeking. Second, respondents expressed needs for contextual metadata in addition to traditional bibliographic metadata.
