A method includes outputting a first graphical representation corresponding to a first group of one or more audio files and a second graphical representation corresponding to a second group of one or more audio files, wherein the first group is defined based on a respective first metadata attribute value for each audio file from the first group; receiving a user selection of the first graphical representation; and, in response to the user selection, moving the second graphical representation, thereby defining an expansion area, and outputting, within the expansion area, at least one additional graphical representation corresponding to a subgroup of the first group, wherein the subgroup is defined based at least in part on a respective second metadata attribute value for each audio file from the subgroup.

Systems and methods for music recognition and/or tag history synchronization are described. The system includes, for example, a first device, a second device and a server. The first device is configured to record music from a surrounding environment. The first device wirelessly sends the recorded music to the server for identification. The server is configured to identify the recorded music and to generate a tag corresponding to the identified music. The first tag history is updated to include the tag which includes information corresponding to the identified music. The first device and the second device are registered with the server as part of a particular user account. The server is configured to synchronize a second tag history stored in the second device with the updated first tag history.
