Method and system for managing musical files

A graphical user interface for organizing a plurality of music album information elements and song elements, at least some of the music album information elements having a least one song element associated therewith, the graphical user interface comprising:

• a first display area adapted to display a single music album information element axis illustrating a plurality of juxtaposed and partially overlapping music album information elements, the music album element axis being axially scrollable;
• a plurality of selectable information elements on the displayed music album information element axis when the music album information element axis is displayed;
• and
• a second display area adapted to display retrieved song element along a song element axis, the song element axis being adapted to intersect the music album information element axis substantially at a selected music album information element when the song element axis is displayed, the song element axis being adapted to be scrolled.

A system for organizing music files in a computer system having a display device and being capable of manipulating a plurality of music album information elements and song elements, at least some of the music album information element having a least one song element associated therewith, at least some of the song elements having at least one music album information element associated therewith, the system comprising:

• (A) a display device;
• (B) a plurality of music album information elements, at least one music album information element having a plurality of song elements associated therewith;
• (C) a storage device adapted to store the plurality of music album information elements and song elements;
• (D) a user interface adapted to receive inputs from a user;
• (E) a processing unit which is adapted to:
• (i) generate a music album information element axis based on a music album attribute, the music album information element axis comprising a group of music album information elements having the music album attribute and being selected from the plurality of music album information elements stored in the storage device;
• (ii) cause a display of a representation of the music album information element axis by the display device at a position;
• (iii) determine a song attribute based at least in part on an action performed on at least one music album information element from the music album information element axis;
• (iv) generate a song element axis based on a song attribute, the song element axis comprising a plurality of song elements having the song attribute and being selected from the plurality of song elements stored in the information storage device;
• and
• (v) cause a display of a representation of the song element axis orthogonal to the position of the representation of the music album information element axis with the display device.
