Studies in the field of Music Information Retrieval (MIR) have shown that users would like to use multiple criteria simultaneously and additional criteria besides the widely used metadata of artist, album and song. We present our prototype named CloudMonster, which supports flexible browsing and searching within music collections using multiple criteria. In a preliminary evaluation the added flexibility for browsing and searching was highly appreciated and we received valuable suggestions for future research.
