Abstract
A computer system, including a display and a user-interface, for manipulating a plurality of music albums and songs with a method for organizing a plurality of music albums and songs, the method comprising displaying on the display a music album axis illustrating a plurality of juxtaposed user-selectable music albums, selecting a music album from the displayed music album axis, retrieving songs associated with the selected music album and displaying the retrieved songs along a song axis, the song axis being adapted to intersect the music album axis. A user graphical interface providing same and a system thereof are also provided.

At a computer system, including a display and a user-interface, for manipulating a plurality of music album elements and song elements, a method of organizing a plurality of music album elements and song elements, the method comprising:
- displaying on the display a music album element axis adapted to illustrate a plurality of music album elements;
- selecting a music album element from the displayed music album element axis;
- retrieving song elements associated with the selected music album element;
- and
- displaying the retrieved song elements along a song element axis, the song element axis being adapted to be displayed in a direction adapted to intersect the music album element axis.
A device, comprising a processor configured to present a graphical user interface for organizing a plurality of music album elements and song elements, the graphical user interface being adapted to:
- provide a first display area adapted to display a music album element axis adapted to display a plurality of music album elements;
- display a plurality of music album elements on the music album element axis when the music album element axis is displayed;
- and
- provide a second display area adapted to display retrieved song elements along a song element axis, the song element axis being adapted to be displayed in a direction adapted to intersect the music album element axis.
A system for organizing music files in a computer system having a display and being capable of manipulating a plurality of music album elements and song elements, the system comprising:
- (A) a display;
- (B) a plurality of music album elements, at least one music album element having song elements associated therewith;
- (C) at least one storage device adapted to store the plurality of music album 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 element axis comprising a group of music album elements and being selected from the plurality of music album elements stored in the at least one storage device;
- (ii) cause a display of the music album element axis by the display;
- (iii) generate a song element axis based on a selection of a music album element, the song element axis being adapted to display a plurality of song elements selected from the plurality of song elements stored in the storage;
- and
- (iv) cause a display of the song element axis in a direction adapted to intersect the music album element axis.
