Append to Playlist. The new song will be displayed at the end of the list with 1 vote to start.
Design #3
For the following design, the title page will consist of a search box on the bottom, a dynamic view of search results,and a series of tabs on the left hand side for top party searches. The purpose of the top party searches tab is to enhance user efficiency by gathering data on search history, and providing the top 5 searches as quick access options. An autocomplete functionality for the search box will help prevent user typos and errors. In addition, an upload music button will be constantly present on the bottom of the page. With its pop-up functionality, the idea is to enable the user to upload music to the site while still being able to download, vote, and listen to music. As the user finds his playlist among the list of user searches, he will click on the link as soon as he or she finds a desired match. The page will shift to the second window, in which the active playlist is now shown. The playlist here can be organized by rank, title, and the artist, and provides a range of different functionalities. The play button allows the user to play the particular song. The yes/ no button is used to allow user feedback on a song's popularity, which will determine its relative ranking in the song list. In addition, a download button will be added to the rightmost section of each song.
Through this design, we provide a high degree of learnability, error detection, and efficiency in spite a slightly more visually complex interface. What the search box gives up in visual simplicity, it enables the user to detect errors and to gain quick access to popular playlist options. The play button, the yes/ no buttons, and the download button should be fairly self evident to the user. In a few moments of time, the user should be able to quickly learn and adapt to this user interface.
