Introduction The tape cassette study Problems with digital music libraries Results of analysis Design Implications Conclusions
Introduction
Research question:What can we learn from the storage of analogue media that can be applied to the design of digital music libraries?
Problems
Proposed framework Organizing: issues around browsing a

items in a collection and sharing them Digitization: Issues around the loss of
physical affordances and documentation

Personal & musical histories are recorded by old media
“this is a tape from 1998 or so from jenna, an old penpal. i still miss her. the othertapes are ones i made or sssb made.”
Analysis of organization
“lisa ici says:
Heh, that could be my tape collection.”
“aoneko says:
Hee! I have a crate like this too. Lot of the same tapes in there.”
Ratings not used (75%) 30% report not organizing
their collection
Analysis of personalization
“The personal feelings sewn into those drives is something that measures far above the cold, distanced feeling I get from sitting around someone's computer listening to shuffled music.”
75% had more than one mixtape in their collection
80% reported making a mix at least within the past year.
