我的朋友讨厌SoundCloud iOS，所以我为他们重新设计了它 (My friends hate SoundCloud iOS so I redesigned it for them)
What started out as a casual conversation with my friends turned into a serious exploration. This was partially because I love SoundCloud, and partially because I needed to challenge myself in order to move forward in my career.
最初与朋友的闲聊变成了认真的探索。 这部分是因为我喜欢SoundCloud，部分是因为我需要挑战自我，才能迈向职业。
I started using SoundCloud obsessively back in 2013, and have since started using other streaming applications as well. SoundCloud is amazing. Whenever I go through its community, I can look forward to discovering so much new talent.
我早在2013年就开始沉迷于SoundCloud，此后也开始使用其他流媒体应用程序。 SoundCloud很棒。 每当我进入社区时，我都期待发现这么多新人才。
So I set out to redesign SoundCloud’s iOS app from the ground up, the way me and my friends would like it to be.
因此，我着手重新设计SoundCloud的iOS应用程序，这是我和我的朋友们希望的样子。
第一部分-从头开始 (Part I — Starting from scratch)
迭代I (Iteration I)
For the past six months, I couldn’t fight a feeling that SoundCloud had changed ever since they released their mobile platform. And not in a good way. When I would ask my friends how they felt about it, they’d get all worked up. We’d debate over what we still loved about it and what was going wrong; I’d get into deep conversations with my Lyft drivers; I’d discretely slip questions about SoundCloud into random discussions.
在过去的六个月中，自从他们发布移动平台以来，SoundCloud一直在变化，我无法抗拒。 而不是一个好办法。 当我问我的朋友他们对此有何看法时，他们会感到很高兴。 我们将就我们仍然喜欢它以及出了什么问题进行辩论。 我将与Lyft司机进行深入的交谈； 我将有关SoundCloud的问题离散地放入随机讨论中。
Lo and behold, I found that most of us avoided using it.
瞧， 我发现我们大多数人都避免使用它。
So, I became more and more curious… ?
因此，我变得越来越好奇……？
What made other mobile streaming applications stronger or weaker than SoundCloud? What were the details of our unhappiness? What needed to change? To gain insight, I expanded my streaming experience and started using Spotify and Apple Music, comparing and contrasting their strengths, weaknesses, and patterns. What elements and terms were universal across these streaming platforms?
是什么使其他移动流媒体应用程序比SoundCloud更强或更弱？ 我们不快乐的细节是什么？ 需要改变什么？ 为了获得见识，我扩展了自己的流媒体体验，并开始使用Spotify和Apple Music，比较并对比了它们的优势，劣势和模式。 在这些流媒体平台上通用哪些元素和术语？
After mentally compiling a list of suggestions and improvements for SoundCloud (from informal conversations etc.), I realized the inevitable.
在认真整理了SoundCloud的建议和改进清单(通过非正式对话等)之后，我意识到了不可避免的情况。
If I wanted to redesign SoundCloud, I had to start from scratch.
如果我想重新设计SoundCloud，则必须从头开始 。
I had to start at ground zero.
我必须从零开始。
情况 (Situation)
In 2016, global recorded music market grew by 5.9% due to streaming (IFPI Facts and Stats 2016). 59% of digital revenues that same year came from streaming alone. As one of the most popular streaming platforms, SoundCloud strongly emphasizes their community, recording 847 million electronic connections made in 2015. It boasts one of the largest grassroots digital community of electronic music estimated at over 10 million.
2016年，由于流媒体，全球录制音乐市场增长了5.9％( IFPI Facts and Stats 2016 )。 同年，数字收入的59％来自仅流媒体。 作为最受欢迎的流媒体平台之一，SoundCloud着重强调其社区，在2015年记录了8.47亿次电子连接。它拥有最大的基层电子音乐数字社区之一，估计超过1000万个。
假设 (Hypotheses)
SoundCloud became a music streaming competitor in 2016 after debuting their subscription service SoundCloud Go. The press expressed less than satisfied reviews upon its release; SoundCloud then responded by releasing a new tier called SoundCloud Go+ in 2017. As the platform struggles to win users over Spotify Premium, I began forming hypotheses.
在推出其订阅服务SoundCloud Go之后，SoundCloud在2016年成为音乐流媒体竞争对手。 新闻界对新闻稿的发表表示不满意。 之后，SoundCloud做出了回应，于2017年发布了一个称为SoundCloud Go +的新层。由于该平台难以在Spotify Premium上赢得用户 ，我开始形成假设。
1. Music streaming and discovery is a very social activity
1.音乐流和发现是一种非常社交的活动
2. Making playlists is crucial to one’s listening experience
2.制作播放清单对于一个人的聆听体验至关重要
市场研究I (Market Research I)
Globally, the highest shares of electronic music are held in Europe and Asia, and the highest streams of electronic music are in America, Great Britain, Denmark and Mexico. (IMS Summit Business Report 2017)
在全球范围内，电子音乐的占有率最高的国家是欧洲和亚洲，而电子音乐的最高来源是美国，英国，丹麦和墨西哥。 ( IMS峰会2017年业务报告 )
“Millennials are 40% more likely to attend a club event in the USA, and total 2 billion globally” — International Music Summit Business Report 2017
“千禧一代参加美国俱乐部活动的可能性增加40％，全球总数达到20亿” — — 2017年国际音乐峰会商业报告
研究一 (Research I)
Stakeholders
利益相关者
I divided stakeholders into two categories: hobbyists and professionals. To address a need that everyone shared, I looked at their overarching role.
我将利益相关者分为两类：爱好者和专业人员。 为了满足所有人共享的需求，我研究了他们的总体作用。
Each stakeholder was ultimately a listener.
每个利益相关者最终都是听众。
In effect, I focused my questions around the habits of listeners and streamers. For this round, I collected responses from 23 participants whom were between the ages of 18 and 28. 82% were male and 80% were in college.
实际上，我把问题集中在听众和彩带的习惯上。 在本轮调查中，我收集了23位年龄在18至28岁之间的参与者的反馈。其中82％是男性，80％在大学。
I discovered that my participants were more likely to repeatedly see tracks reposted to their feed from the same group of artists. They found themselves in a feedback loop, where the same tracks would circulate from the same users. Users were less likely to find new music and were influenced by features such as ‘like’ and ‘repost’ count. A few of them said that they would scroll through 3 or 5 tracks on their feed, lose interest, and move on to something else.
我发现我的参与者更有可能反复看到来自同一群艺术家的曲目重新发布到他们的提要中。 他们发现自己处于反馈循环中，其中相同的曲目会从相同的用户处传播。 用户不太可能找到新音乐，并且受“喜欢”和“重新发布”计数等功能的影响。 他们中的一些人说，他们将在Feed上滚动3或5条曲目，失去兴趣，然后继续前进。
More questions started to form. How important is a user’s connection to the online music community? How often do listeners listen to their friend’s music? How are they influenced by reposted tracks and like count?
更多问题开始形成。 用户与在线音乐社区的连接有多重要？ 听众多久听一次朋友的音乐？ 他们如何受到重新发布的曲目和计数的影响？
Interviews
面试
I had 5 interviews, each of which lasted about 30 minutes. I asked over 20 questions, aiming to uncover what each individual believed the strengths and weaknesses of SoundCloud iOS were. My interviews exposed a lack of trust for SoundCloud’s recommendations as a discovery platform. SoundCloud was not thought to be as polished as Spotify and Apple Music. Rather, it was viewed as a portfolio for developing artists instead of a professional discography. All of my results are compiled here.
我进行了5次采访，每次采访持续约30分钟。 我问了20多个问题，目的是揭示每个人都认为SoundCloud iOS的优缺点是什么。 我的采访暴露了对SoundCloud作为发现平台的建议缺乏信任。 SoundCloud并不像Spotify和Apple Music那样精美。 相反，它被视为培养艺术家的作品集，而不是专业唱片。 我所有的结果都汇总在这里 。
From my gathered data, I could paint a better picture. I illustrated the type of behaviors I would be designing for with personas and scenarios. The first scenario is a story about a friend whose listening experience spurred her to share a track with a friend. The second tells of a young, working adult who wishes to have a new listening experience while driving to work in traffic.
从收集的数据中，我可以描绘出更好的画面。 我通过角色和场景说明了我要设计的行为类型。 第一种情况是关于一个朋友的故事，该朋友的聆听经历促使她与朋友分享曲目。 第二篇讲述的是一个年轻的，正在工作的成年人，他希望在开车上班时获得新的聆听体验。
100% of survey and interview participants listened to variations of electronic music. This included a wide breadth of sub-genres including trap, electronica, and pop. 60% of interviewees stated that they listened to podcasts, sets, or mixes, all of which could last between 30 minutes to 3 hours. Their feedback supported my understanding of SoundCloud as a platform for electronic music, whether in the form of rap production or sub-genres.
100％的调查和访谈参与者听了电子音乐的变化。 其中包括广泛的子类型，包括陷阱，电子音乐和流行音乐。 60％的受访者表示，他们听了播客，布景或混音，所有这些可能持续30分钟到3个小时。 他们的反馈支持了我对SoundCloud作为电子音乐平台的了解，无论是说唱制作还是副类型。
重新审视我的假设： (To revisit my hypotheses:)
1. My interviews ultimately showed that music streaming and discovery are not heavily social activities, but personal explorations. Individual taste is extremely unique.
1.我的访谈最终表明，音乐流和发现不是主要的社交活动，而是个人探索。 个人品味是极其独特的。
2. Not everyone makes playlists because it takes much more effort than the average user can afford.
2.并非每个人都创建播放列表，因为它花费的精力比普通用户负担得更多。
3. The solution? Give listeners the music they never knew they wanted. Or in other words, humans are lazy, so we gotta do all the work.
3.解决方案？ 给听众前所未有的音乐。 换句话说，人类是懒惰的，所以我们必须做所有的工作。
Most importantly, SoundCloud’s electronic music community and repository must be at the very surface. This would mean curating content (recorded sets, influencers, live mixes), and organizing libraries of music in order to engage the habits of the electronic music community. To address the needs of my subjects, I made the following proposals:
最重要的是，SoundCloud的电子音乐社区和存储库必须浮出水面。 这将意味着策划内容 (录制的唱片集，有影响力的人，现场混音)，并组织音乐库 ，以激发电子音乐社区的习惯 。 为了满足学科的需求，我提出了以下建议：
提案 (Proposals)
1. A new page dedicated to Events and Mixes
1.专门用于事件和混合的新页面
2. Organize and categorize collection of saved music
2.对保存的音乐进行整理和分类
3. A new page dedicated to Curators
3.专门针对策展人的新页面
4. A separate module for popular reposted tracks
4.单独的热门转贴曲目模块
5. Focus solely on community of electronic and dance music
5.仅专注于电子和舞蹈音乐社区
原型制作 (Prototyping)
用户流 (User Flows)
After I studied common music streaming applications and digested SoundCloud’s mobile pathways, I roughly visualized its most important features. These features guided which user flows and pathways I believed users would most likely follow when using SoundCloud.
在研究了常见的音乐流应用程序并了解了SoundCloud的移动路径之后，我大致了解了其最重要的功能。 这些功能指导了我相信用户在使用SoundCloud时最有可能遵循的用户流程和途径 。
低保真度 (Low Fidelity)
Taking the information organized through sitemaps and user flows, I created low-fidelity wireframes for Profile or Home, Library, and Discovery using paper prototypes. I moved to digital wireframes afterwards and drew basic wireframe maps to group screens together.
利用通过站点地图和用户流组织的信息，我使用纸制原型为Profile或Home，Library和Discovery创建了低保真线框。 之后，我移至数字线框 ，并绘制了基本的线框贴图以将屏幕组合在一起。
中保真度 (Mid Fidelity)
From low-fidelity, I took note of the significance and purpose of each element and page. Again, the following are organized by the main branches of the application: Profile or Home, Discover, and Library.
从低保真度，我注意到每个元素和页面的意义和目的。 同样，以下内容由应用程序的主要分支组织：概要文件或主页，发现和库。
Events & Mixes
活动与混音
Discover > Mixes >
发现> Mixe >
1. Featured — collaborators, suggested artists etc.
1.精选-合作者，推荐的艺术家等。
2. Events — festivals, performances
2.活动-节日，表演
3. Location — major cities and scenes
3.位置-主要城市和场景
4. Podcasts — residents, daily mixes
4.播客-居民，每日混音
Curators
策展人
Discover > Mixes >
发现> Mixe >
1. Record labels — professional distributors
1.记录标签-专业经销商
2. Self-made — YouTube channels
2.自制-YouTube频道
3. Music collectives — groups, collaborators
3.音乐团体-团体，合作者
Press — magazines and PR premiering music
新闻—杂志和公关首映音乐
高保真度 (High Fidelity)
Let me know your thoughts about how the infrastructure works for you, what could be better about the interface, and your overall experience.
让我知道您对基础架构如何为您工作的想法，关于界面的更好的方面以及您的整体经验。
Part I was my first run on Adobe XD, and I’m impressed by how easy it was to use the Prototyping feature. Part I also covers initial research findings and the first interactive mockup. For Part II, I’ll be focusing on visual design and microinteractions using Sketch and Principle, smoothing out the edges of the first model for a better second iteration.
第一部分是我第一次在Adobe XD上运行，使用原型功能是如此的容易，给我留下了深刻的印象。 第一部分还介绍了初步研究结果和第一个交互式模型。 对于第二部分 ，我将重点介绍使用“草图和原理”的视觉设计和微交互，平滑第一个模型的边缘，以获得更好的第二个迭代。
第二部分-退后一步 (Part II — Taking a step back)
迭代二 (Iteration II)
Thanks for reading so far! The final bits of this project have made me more excited about interaction design as a whole. I found these gifs to show you guys how I feel about the progress ?
感谢您到目前为止的阅读！ 该项目的最后部分使我对整个交互设计感到更加兴奋。 我找到了这些gif文件，向大家展示了我对进度的看法？
Before moving onto the last half of this project, I looked at how SoundCloud has changed within the past couple of months. I reviewed the data I had collected a few months earlier and sifted through SoundCloud’s current activity. Artists like Lil Uzi Vert, Post Malone, and Travis Scott have been at the top of SoundCloud’s charts, making hip-hop as popular as (if not more than) electronic. After basing this project on subjects who mostly listened to electronic music, I thought I had to pivot in a totally new direction.
在进入该项目的最后一半之前，我研究了SoundCloud在过去几个月中的变化。 我查看了几个月前收集的数据，并筛选了SoundCloud当前的活动 。 像Lil Uzi Vert ， Post Malone和Travis Scott这样的艺术家一直在SoundCloud的排行榜上名列前茅，使嘻哈音乐与电子音乐一样流行(甚至超过电子音乐)。 在将这个项目基于主要听电子音乐的主题之后，我认为我必须转向一个全新的方向。
I took a step back.
我退后了一步。
If SoundCloud’s base had shifted, I knew I needed more evidence. I had focused on a small sample size in my own network and needed to expand. Why not gather more data about music streaming?
如果SoundCloud的基础发生了变化，我知道我需要更多的证据。 我只关注自己网络中的一小部分样本，因此需要扩展。 为什么不收集有关音乐流的更多数据？
市场研究II (Market Research II)
Compiled through a series of articles, press releases, and research from NYTimes, Forbes, WMagazine, and more, I realized the trend for hip-hop through SoundCloud emerged in the last couple of years. The top 3 artists on SoundCloud in 2015 were Drake, Major Lazer, and G-Eazy (Forbes 2015). In 2016, the top album was Coloring Book by Chance the Rapper, the most favorited track Panda by Desiigner, and most followed: Lil Uzi Vert.
通过一系列来自纽约时报 ， 福布斯 ， WMagazine等的文章，新闻稿和研究，我意识到通过SoundCloud出现嘻哈音乐的趋势在最近几年出现了。 2015年，SoundCloud上排名前三的艺术家分别是Drake ， Major Lazer和G-Eazy ( 《福布斯》 2015年 )。 在2016年，顶级专辑是《 说唱歌手机会 》 ( Chance the Rapper )的《 图画书》 ( Coloring Book) ， 德西恩纳(Desiigner)最受喜爱的单曲《 熊猫》(Panda) ，其次是Lil Uzi Vert 。
研究二 (Research II)
I made another survey that was more concise and focused on quantitative data. Consisting of four, multiple choice questions, I gathered responses from 167 participants.
我进行了另一次更简洁的调查，重点是定量数据。 由四个选择题组成，我从167名参与者中收集了答案。
The following are the results: Electronic music and hip-hop tied for most-listened-to genre. Most music streamers ranged between the ages of 16 and 27, averaging at about 21 years of age. Spotify leads against SoundCloud as the most preferred, mobile, streaming platform. Streaming was considered the most important activity, then discovery, then making playlists.
结果如下： 电子音乐和嘻哈并列为听得最多的类型。 大多数音乐流媒体的年龄介于16至27岁之间，平均年龄约为21岁 。 Spotify与SoundCloud相比是最受青睐的移动流媒体平台。 流媒体被认为是最重要的活动，然后是发现，然后是播放列表。
重新审阅我的建议： (To revisit my proposals:)
1. Organize and categorize collection of saved music
1.对保存的音乐进行整理和分类
2. A separate module for popular reposted tracks
2.流行的重新发布曲目的单独模块
3. Focus on community of electronic, dance, and hip-hop
3.专注于电子，舞蹈和嘻哈社区
4. Structure pages of Discover to mold to genres and community
4.构建Discover的页面以适应流派和社区
Most of the round 2 results mirrored that of the data I had collected a few months ago, but I did learn something new:
第二轮的大多数结果都与我几个月前收集的数据相类似，但是我确实学到了一些新知识：
One of SoundCloud’s strongest points as a platform is its versatility and ability to evolve with its audience.
作为平台，SoundCloud最强的优势之一是其多功能性和与听众一起发展的能力。
In order to morph with its community, the design must be unbiased, favor all genres of music, and build on characteristics of SoundCloud’s current brand: stark and neutral.
为了与社区融合，设计必须保持公正，偏爱所有类型的音乐，并基于SoundCloud当前品牌的特征：鲜明和中性。
图示 (Icons)
I tried a hand at making icons to get a feel for perfecting pixels. Granted this was my first time and there is a lot of room for improvement, I could see how my attention to detail could get carried away.
我尝试制作图标以尝试完善像素。 既然这是我的第一次，并且还有很多改进的余地，我可以看到我对细节的关注会如何消失。
视觉设计与微交互 (Visual Design and Microinteractions)
家 (Home)
For SoundCloud iOS, Home’s purpose (and only purpose) is to show the activity of the people you follow. All posts are dumped into the feed in chronological order. The most salient elements of the feed are each post’s artwork and like and repost count.
对于SoundCloud iOS，Home的目的(也是唯一目的)是显示您所关注的人的活动。 所有帖子都按时间顺序转储到Feed中。 提要中最重要的元素是每个帖子的插图以及喜欢和转发的数量。
Popular in Your Feed allows listeners to see the activity of users they follow. The first track in this module shows that 35 people Mary follows liked a post from Paramore. The module compiles the activity into one notification and accounts for duplicates. If the people Mary follows reflect facets of her own music taste, Mary might like the track too.
“在您的Feed中受欢迎”可让听众看到他们关注的用户的活动。 本单元中的第一条曲目显示，Mary跟随的35个人喜欢来自Paramore的帖子。 该模块将活动编译为一个通知并说明重复项。 如果玛丽跟随的人们反映出她自己的音乐品味，玛丽可能也会喜欢这首歌。
Let’s say a post has fewer than 10 likes and a non-attractive album cover. Would you listen to it? If we’re being honest, you’re less likely to play a post that appears less professional and numbers always play a part in influencing your expectations.
假设某则帖子的“顶”赞少于10个，而专辑封面则没有吸引力。 你会听吗？ 如果说实话，那么您发表某篇文章显得不太专业的可能性就较小，数字总是会影响您的期望。
I took away the like and repost counts to lessen judgment and bias. The icons on the right hand side categorize posts into types: stations, mixes, playlist, albums, or tracks. To focus on listening instead of appearance, Your Feed emphasizes title, artist, and type.
我拿走了喜欢的东西，并重新发布计数以减少判断和偏见。 右侧的图标将帖子分类为以下类型：电台，混音，播放列表，专辑或曲目。 为了专注于聆听而不是外观， 您的Feed强调标题，艺术家和类型。
搜索 (Search)
On SoundCloud iOS, pressing on the Search tab takes you to their version of Discover. Pressing on the search bar at the top of the page changes it to Search. I separated Search and Discover into 2 separate tabs for navigation. If the listener would like to only search, they’d press on the Search button. Here’s an example of my first iteration.
在SoundCloud iOS上，按“搜索”选项卡可将您带到其Discover版本。 按页面顶部的搜索栏将其更改为“搜索”。 我将“搜索和发现”分为两个单独的标签进行导航。 如果听众只想搜索，则可以按“搜索”按钮。 这是我第一次迭代的示例。
Search contains Recent Searches and the results are divided into previews of each classification i.e. tracks, albums, people.
搜索包含“最近搜索”，搜索结果分为每个类别的预览，即曲目，专辑，人物。
I took away the filter bar that horizontally scrolled, using only a single vertical scroll to eliminate the time it would take for one to move up, down, and to the sides. The redesign of Search optimizes results by finding the most relevant item as the Top Result and giving snippets of what type of results there are.
我拿走了水平滚动的滤镜条，只使用了一个垂直滚动条就消除了向上，向下和向两侧移动所花费的时间。 搜索的重新设计通过找到最相关的项目作为“最佳结果”并给出了结果类型的摘要，从而优化了结果。
To apply genres to tracks, SoundCloud allows users to label their uploads using hashtags. I thought that the hashtags could use a little more life to bring attention to them.
要将流派应用于曲目，SoundCloud允许用户使用井号标签标记其上载内容。 我认为主题标签可以多用一些时间来引起人们的注意。
发现 (Discover)
The Discover page of the first iteration focused more on breaking down SoundCloud by types such as tracks, playlists, and albums. What I noticed was that navigating through these items became repetitive (tracks, playlists, and albums would all have modules for hot, new, and suggested). There wasn’t a theme behind each menu item.
第一次迭代的“发现”页面更侧重于按音轨，播放列表和专辑等类型分解SoundCloud。 我注意到的是，浏览这些项目变得重复(曲目，播放列表和专辑都包含用于热门，新内容和建议内容的模块)。 每个菜单项后面没有一个主题。
To make the menu items less arbitrary, I revised the sitemap of Discover to fit SoundCloud’s age demographic of avid festival attendants. I also tried to maintain a level of flexibility to the modules featured on each page. Due to the different focuses of the project, I left out Charts when brainstorming features of Discover and emphasized Your Cloud, Around the World, Extended Play and Curated.
为了减少菜单项的随意性，我修订了Discover的站点地图，以适合SoundCloud热情的节日服务人员的年龄统计。 我还尝试对每个页面上的模块保持一定程度的灵活性。 由于项目的重点不同，我在集思广益的发现功能时忽略了Charts并强调了您的云，环游世界，扩展播放和策划 。
Discover > FeaturedSoundCloud’s newest addition to Discover is The Upload. As a preview for hot artists or playlists curated by SoundCloud, I created a Featured window that let’s users browse through fresh, new music and talent.
发现> Featur edSoundCloud对Discover的最新添加是The Upl oad。 作为SoundCloud策划的热门艺术家或播放列表的预览，我创建了一个Featu红色窗口，使用户可以浏览新鲜的，新的音乐和才华。
Discover > Your CloudYour Following and Followers make up Your Cloud, which is where your taste in music resides. Your Cloud is made up of your immediate peers as well as suggested content that you might like. With all this information swirling around the (Sound)Cloud (ha get it), this feature captures the relevant stuff to strengthen and expand upon your listening experience.
探索>您的小组您的关注者和追随者组成您的小组，这就是您对音乐的爱好所在。 您的云由您的直接对等对象以及您可能喜欢的建议内容组成。 随着所有这些信息在(Sou nd)Cl oud(已经得到)周围盘旋，此功能可以捕获相关内容以增强和扩展您的聆听体验。
Discover > Around the WorldAs a global platform for independent artists in so many different parts of the world, SoundCloud has become a voice for major cities and scenes. Around the World covers large-scale events, live sets, and movements. This page is meant to bring global activity to the surface of SoundCloud.
探索>围绕禾 rldAs在世界许多不同部分独立艺术家的全球平台，的SoundCloud已成为各大城市和场景秒的声音。 Wo rld 周围有大型活动，现场演出和活动。 该页面旨在将全球活动带到SoundCloud的表面。
Discover > Hot & NewThis already exists on SoundCloud Desktop (but not on mobile) under Charts. Hot & New identifies viral and notable releases from up and coming artists, which is perfect for hot hip-hop artists and rappers.
发现>热门与新功能此功能已经存在于Charts下的SoundCloud Desktop(但不存在于移动设备)上。 Hot＆New可以识别新锐艺术家的病毒性和显着发行，非常适合热门嘻哈艺术家和说唱歌手。
Discover > Extended PlayElectronic music is known for sets and longer performances. Extended Play compiles uploads that are classified as mixes or stations so that users can listen to music for hours of listening.
“发现”>“扩展布局”电子音乐以布景和更长时间的演奏而著称。 扩展策略会编译归类为混音或电台的上载内容，以便用户可以听音乐数小时。
Discover > CuratedSince humans are lazy by nature, Curated is SoundCloud’s way of giving back to the listener with hand-picked playlists. These playlists can range from sub-genres to movements in the music scene.
探索>库拉 tedSince人类是由NATURË懒，库拉索泰德是回馈精心挑选的播放列表收听的SoundCloud的方式。 这些播放列表的范围从子流派到音乐场景中的移动。
正在播放 (Now Playing)
I kept SoundCloud’s navigation tab and waveform for Now Playing, but made controls like pause, next, and repeat more obvious for the user. I focused less on the artwork to bring out the feeling of a media player. I also placed the option to repost tracks within the Now Playing screen to encourage listeners to play tracks before they repost to their profile.
我保留了SoundCloud的“导航”选项卡和“正在播放”的波形，但对用户来说，使“暂停”，“下一个”和“重复”之类的控件更为明显。 我较少关注艺术品，以展现媒体播放器的感觉。 我还在“ 正在播放”屏幕中放置了重新发布曲目的选项，以鼓励听众在重新发布到个人资料之前先播放曲目。
图书馆 (Library)
If SoundCloud was catered more to vinyl collectors and spinners, I could see how Collection would be a great name for the library of music. But since SoundCloud covers such a vast group of listeners, I wanted to use Library because it’s a more common title.
如果SoundCloud能够更好地迎合黑胶唱片收藏家和微调乐队的演奏者，那么我将明白Collection是如何成为音乐图书馆的好名字。 但是由于SoundCloud涵盖了如此众多的听众，所以我想使用Library，因为它是一个更常见的标题。
I put in a feature that could filter tracks not just by when they were liked, but by artist, genre, or title. Here’s an example of how I thought it would look like.
我加入了一项功能，该功能不仅可以按喜欢的时间过滤音轨，还可以按艺术家，流派或标题过滤音轨。 这是我认为的样子的一个例子。
On SoundCloud, liking something will bump the like count and add it to the Library, but there is no feedback to show that ‘added to Library’ has been performed. Similar to how Apple Music or Spotify notifies the user when a track is added to the library, I illustrated the action for SoundCloud.
在SoundCloud上，喜欢的东西会碰到类似的计数并将其添加到库中，但是没有反馈表明已执行“添加到库”。 与将音乐添加到库中时Apple Music或Spotify通知用户的方式类似，我说明了SoundCloud的操作。
个人资料 (Profile)
Last but not least, the profile! Some of the suggestions that my interviewees asked for was to show and access the description, links, and followers/following count. I mirrored the way posts are listed on Discover on this artist’s profile.
最后但并非最不重要的一点！ 我的受访者要求提供的一些建议是显示和访问描述，链接和关注者/关注人数。 我镜像了此艺术家个人资料上发帖在“发现”中列出的方式。
Anything description related comes from the top down. For more options like following, reposting or accessing an artist’s tracks, the menu comes from the bottom up.
任何相关描述均从上至下。 对于更多选项，例如关注，重新发布或访问艺术家的曲目，该菜单自下而上。
反思所做的事情 (Reflecting on what was done)
What started out as casual conversation with my friends turned into a deep investigation into our habits as humans and needs as listeners. For the past 4 months, I explored each facet of user experience design and found that my fascination with human-computer interaction stemmed from my compassion for people.
最初与朋友的闲聊开始，对我们作为人类的习惯和作为聆听者的需求的深入研究。 在过去的4个月中，我探索了用户体验设计的各个方面，发现对人机交互的迷恋源于对人的同情心。
I took on this project as a challenge to myself, to see what I could really do. No second-guesses, no take-backs. I confronted judgments, expectations, and my biggest barrier: myself. Throughout this endeavor, I exercised my strengths, and built upon my weaknesses. Some powerful things I learned was knowing how to handle change, how crucial iteration is, and being thorough. Most importantly, there is a lot more to learn in design and research.
我接受这个项目是对我自己的挑战，看看我能做些什么。 没有第二个猜测，没有回头率。 我面临着判断，期望和我最大的障碍：我自己。 在整个过程中，我发挥了自己的优势，并在自己的劣势上建立了基础。 我学到的一些有力的知识是知道如何处理变更，重要的迭代是多么的彻底。 最重要的是，在设计和研究中还有很多要学习的东西 。
So, where to? I can’t tell you that, seeing as I don’t have a solid answer (some of us don’t and that’s perfectly ok). But I can tell you this: I’m headed for a lifetime of learning; becoming a product designer; and shooting for the moon and beyond!
那么，去哪儿呢？ 我不能告诉你，因为我没有一个可靠的答案(我们中有些人没有，这完全可以)。 但是我可以告诉你：我将终身学习。 成为产品设计师； 并拍摄月球及以后！
