Hi Kelley - I conducted that usability test on Scherzo and wrote that report so I can answer your questions! I think a work-focused approach can work for users, but we had to scale back on what we assumed users would understand on the search results page. After this test of the system, we changed

Thanks, Jon. I have seen the Variations work and also talked to Jenn Riley about it. It has definitely influenced me, although we are going in a slightly different direction and moving images have some different needs from music. One thing about Variations that struck me is this paragraph from t
