Music selection using the PartyVote democratic jukebox

PartyVote is a democratic music jukebox designed to give all participants an equal influence on the music played at social gatherings or parties. PartyVote is designed to provide appropriate music in established social groups with minimal user interventions and no pre-existing user profiles. The visualization uses dimensionality reduction to show song similarity and overlays information about how votes affect the music played. Visualizing voting decisions allows users to link music selections with individuals, providing social awareness. Traditional group norms can subsequently be leveraged to maintain fair system use and empower users.
