First Claim
1. A method of operating an apparatus evaluating music files, the method comprising:
- selecting, at the apparatus, a predetermined number of different music attributes descriptive of a mood of a piece of music included in a music file;
determining, from parameters of a target music file available in the apparatus, a first vector descriptive of a relationship between the target music file and the selected music attributes and a second vector descriptive of a relationship between the target music file and a subset of the music attributes; and
outputting classification information containing the first and second vectors.

Abstract
At an apparatus (200), which may be a consumer electronic device, the user may select a predetermined number of different music attributes (Attr) descriptive of a mood delivered by music represented by music content of a music file. From parameters of a music file available in the apparatus (200), the apparatus (200) determines a first vector (m1(Dat)) descriptive of a relationship between the music content and all selected music attributes (Attr) and a second vector (m2(Dat)) and outputs a classification information related to the music file and containing the first and second vectors (m1(Dat), m2(Dat)). The classification information may be used to assign a colour to a displayed object assigned to the music file. Perceptually similar music files may be displayed in similar colours.
