Abstract
At an apparatus (), 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 (), the apparatus () determines a first vector (m(Dat)) descriptive of a relationship between the music content and all selected music attributes (Attr) and a second vector (m(Dat)) and outputs a classification information related to the music file and containing the first and second vectors (m(Dat), m(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.
