Guiding Music Discovery In A Non-Linear Way

Kanye West

The future of facilitating music discovery is giving users the ability to find the right blend of content by delivering it within the the right context – and (this is key here) going to where they are.

As an online radio programmer and DJ, I need to consider ways to better the process of music discovery. A  listening experience refers more to the technological aspects of the user interface that includes usability and audio quality. Discovery – how users find music – is a big part of this equation and is the focus of this piece.

So…what the heck is non-linearity?

I constantly think about ways to use digital tools for sharing music with those who friend or follow me. So far, the process is far from linear. Meaning, there is no singular place to go for sharing music with others because music fans are scattered. There are many methods for listening, and countless ways of communicating what it is we’d like to share.
