Sketch 1

Summary of Sketch 1:

Using Dropbox as an inspiration, this design allows asynchronous importing of multiple albums. Users can input album and song details while uploading music, filling in details for an album (the zip file) fills in the details for the songs automatically. Uploads can always be cancelled and previewed before adding to the playback library.

Sketch 2

Image Added

Summary of Sketch 2:

This design aims to circumvent receiving e-mails from record labels and artists entirely. Record labels and artists are given their own interface through which they can submit their album. In the music director interface, there is an unfiled section with recently submitted albums awaiting approval. There is a checkbox genre filtering mechanism for music directors to see only the genres of music they care about.

Sketch 3

Summary of Sketch 3:

• This is the second preliminary design sketch that is a bit more uncluttered and gives more space for displaying information
• Users can still drag and drop zip files (scan did not show up clearly but there are letter "Drag and Drop to Add" printed on the background of the interface)
• Two panels at the side display the "Top Played Tracks" for a given week, and a "Search" interface for navigating the library
• Tabs at the top allow the user to create different "sessions", essentially a different view of the library. Each session can have a separate import queue
• Tabs at the side divide the music tracks by genre, since music directors are divided by genre, they hardly concern themselves with other genres
• Albums imported within the current session are shown with "album cover flow" format: album art, genre tags, artist name, album name and the full track listing
• Albums imported from previous sessions are simply displayed in a list format
