An Emotional InterFace for a Music Gathering Application

<p> Listening to music while traveling is a pleasant activity. The latest MP3 players demonstrate that storage and management of music will not be a problem in the near future. Besides listening to music the user might also want to gather new music from the internet. We propose a music gathering application that helps the user to collect music and that is able to proactively search and download music based on the user’s music preferences. Furthermore, we developed an emotional interface character that provides instant and natural feedback on the status of the application.
