Abstract
The work embodied in this paper attempts to suggest a few improvements to the playlist creation task interface of the Google Play Music Android application based on recommended practices encountered in the Human-Computer Interaction discipline. The improvements are largely centered on intuitive navigation and selection actions, in order to facilitate a smoother experience in creating, ordering, and adding to music playlists. The work records the efforts in need-finding, design brainstorming, and prototype design and evaluation. The work was undertaken over a single design life cycle, and is an attempt at applying recommended practices in HCI to a widely used real world application.
