Smartphone Application for Creating an Attachment to Music

Abstract

While the media for listening to music are becoming more diverse and easier to use, people are less likely to listen to and enjoy music repeatedly over a long period of time when using smart devices. In this study, we conducted a questionnaire survey on how people listen to music and obtained results that suggest that the feeling one gets when listening to music is related to becoming attached to that music. Therefore, we propose a "Music Feelings Log" which is an application that allows users to record their feelings when listening to music using five different stamps. It also has a comment function where users can write how they found out about the song and why they like it. We believe that recording and visualizing feelings may lead to an attachment to music.
