ABSTRACT
This paper describes a new music-playback interface for trial listening, SmartMusicKIOSK. In music stores, short trial listening of CD music is not usually a passive experience -- customers often search out the chorus or "hook" of a song using the fast-forward button. Listening of this type, however, has not been traditionally supported. This research achieves a function for jumping to the chorus section and other key parts of a song plus a function for visualizing song structure. These functions make it easier for a listener to find desired parts of a song and thereby facilitate an active listening experience. The proposed functions are achieved by an automatic chorus-section detecting method, and the results of implementing them as a listening station have demonstrated their usefulness.

Recommendations
A chorus section detection method for musical audio signals and its application to a music listening station
This paper describes a method for obtaining a list of repeated chorus ("hook") sections in compact-disc recordings of popular music. The detection of chorus sections is essential for the computational modeling of music understanding and is useful in ...
Reflexive loopers for solo musical improvisation
CHI '13: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsLoop pedals are real-time samplers that playback audio played previously by a musician. Such pedals are routinely used for music practice or outdoor "busking". However, loop pedals always playback the same material, which can make performances ...
Autocomplete vocal-fo annotation of songs using musical repetitions
IUI '19 Companion: Companion Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on Intelligent User InterfacesAudio annotation for music clips is an important task for machine-learning-based music analysis and applications. However, it is a time-consuming task because it often requires repetitive manipulations even though typical audio files often contain ...
