Interface is "the zone of relation that comes into being between human beings and machines, device processes, networks, and even organizations" (Hookway's, 2014, p.39). What are popular interfaces?

Popular interfaces like the SoundCloud interface, offer music streams, and free music downloads. Another popular interface, Netflix, offers movie suggestions based on ratings and viewing history.

What is your new interface?

The new interface is a media based interface with several features including a lyrics and musical notes option, streaming music, and suggested songs.
