Instead of having playlists, you have song banks in personalized categories.
The concept of playlists is more fluid. Instead you focus on a Spotify-like play queue as a focal point.
Adding songs to the play queue becomes more important. You want quick accessible methods to look at queue history
Method 1: Play Queue History
You look at a list of play queues from the past.
Star, bookmark, and rate favourites.
Method 2: Drag n' Drop Cherry Pick Songs
This feature is sort of like Spotify, but multiple song banks can opened simultaneously.
The software allows you to quickly:
- click a song bank
- drag n' drop songs to play queue
Method 3: Interactive Pie Chart w' Percentage n' Order
The key benefit of this feature is MACRO level control.
The pie chart puts focus of your playlist at a MACRO level, while giving you the control to add finer adjustments after the fact.
The pie chart allows you to visually:
- Drag song banks to a pie chart
- Select proportion of playtime per song bank
- Select how to intersperse songs from respective banks
- Set the 'SPREAD' of songs:
- interspersed evenly
- not interspersed at all
- interspersed following order of song bank
- interspersed evenly and randomly
- Set front loaded or rear loaded
- In other words, users can fade one playlist into a second playlist
Potential Method 4: Nested Pie Charts
This feature would entail creating a pie chart - clicking one pie section, and then creating a pie chart that showed up in that one. Clicking on that internal pie chart would zoom into the new one.
