Interesting idea sketches from Timo Arnall on how to navigate music on a portable device.

“I was frustrated with the iPod clickwheel, thinking about reducing the reliance on visual interfaces and how navigating music has a lot to do with language. I wanted to explore richer interfaces that combine movement, language and vision.” (…) “It can be difficult to control when accessing huge alphabetically ordered lists, and the acceleration or inertia of the view can be really frustrating.”

Interface design is gonna be crucial for the accessibility and use of mobile music.
