THE PROBLEM
Finding good new music is difficult if you don't know what you're looking for.
There are many existing ways to find and share music, but the market is extremely fragmented.
THE SOLUTION
Tuned is a social network for music.
Users share music via links or uploading, and can follow others to receive a feed of music suggestions.

TASKS
3 representative tasks:
1. Searching for music in a specific genre
2. Following a user
3. Sharing a song
HOW TUNED WORKS
TASK 1: SEARCHING FOR MUSIC
TASK 2: FOLLOWING A USER
TASK 3: SHARING A SONG
THE DESIGN PROCESS
Early sketches of the Tuned interface were heavily focused on playing and organizing music.
EARLY SKETCHES
AFTER CONTEXTUAL INQUIRY
Our contextual inquiry showed us that we needed to focus on what makes Tuned different.
Our next sketches were heavily focused around music sharing.
AFTER TASK ANALYSIS
Once we decided on our final tasks, we created a mobile interface centered around those tasks.
This interface (with only a few modifications) was later used as a lo-fi paper prototype.
LO-FI PROTOTYPE
AFTER USABILITY TESTING
Testing the lo-fi prototype revealed some issues, which we further refined the sketches to resolve.
Most of the changes were to the Upload page.
UPLOAD PAGE MODIFICATIONS
The original Upload page was confusing and did not have many affordances. It was rearranged and made significantly clearer.
THE PROTOTYPE
The current medium-fidelity prototype was built using Axure.
It allows the user to perform all 3 core tasks.

SUMMARY
Tuned is about sharing music with friends and discovering new music, without having to know what you're looking for.
Our prototype is simple, but demonstrates all of Tuned's core features.
