Abstract
In this paper, the user experience in added value
location-based mobile music service called the City Night
Life (CNL) is evaluated and analyzed. The CNL service
provides recommendations about entertainment premises in
the proximity by matching their music styles with the
user's personal music preferences. Entertainment premises
are shown on a map interface and are marked with colors
according to their match. The paper presents the
components of the CNL service, the music profile,
matching algorithm and the map-based user interface in a
web browser. The user evaluation with 53 test users
assessed the feasibility and business potential of the
CNL service. Data was collected with both quantitative
questionnaires and short interviews. The results indicate
that the CNL service will be most useful in relatively
large, unfamiliar cities. Furthermore, the matching
algorithm was perceived to perform quite well. (16 refs.)
