What is Understandable and Ununderstandable on the Top Page

The Japanese top page's title is Free AI Music Generator. It lists what it can do (create music, beats, and tracks from text, no skills required) and the main button Start for Free. It continues with examples (Lo-Fi, EDM, Hip-Hop, Cinematic), four function introductions (Generator, Extender, Mixer, Editor), target audience, user experiences, and FAQ. The FAQ includes topics such as free usage, style specification, voice upload, commercial use, copyright, distribution, and export formats.

Reading up to this point, you can grasp the product's outline. However, the list of generated music, covers, and videos does not appear. There are no folders either. No matter how many times you open the top page, it does not become the work management screen.

Management Units Visible on the Library

The place to refer back is not an extension of the guide but a separate page. The title of the media library is Media Library | WAV AI, and the description states, "You can manage generated music, covers, and videos." Its position in the navigation is not under "Create (Music, Lyrics, Editor)" or "Tools," but under Assets's Media.

The operations visible on the screen were the following three.

• All Works — Appears to be an entrance to view all creations
• Upload — The operation to put files into the library
• Folder — A container for organization

Even when accessing the public page without logging in, the page itself can be opened. It is not treated as a private dashboard. When the collection is empty, it displays No assets found that match the criteria.. The details of the search box are not definitively stated within the visible range. However, this empty state message indicates that it is a screen for narrowing down assets based on certain criteria.

Two external perspectives for ease of navigation

Raluca Budiu's Memory Recognition and Recall in User Interfaces (Nielsen Norman Group, January 15, 2024) states that recognition is easier than recall, which involves remembering a name from scratch. Recently viewed items or saved lists are typical examples of this. The contrast is used here: recalling a prompt by going back to the top is recall, while browsing songs and covers in a library is recognition. It's not about the product's score.

The Keeping Personal Digital Audio from the Library of Congress recommends identifying the audio you want to keep, selecting the important ones, organizing them by name, tag, or folder, and retaining metadata such as the date written. I won't cite this as a product backup guarantee. The borrowing is only about the practical order that "audio files become manageable the moment they are created." This serves as a basis for distinguishing between usage scenarios: recalling the prompt by going back to the top is one, while opening the library after generation is another.

Short table of usage distinction

Even within the same brand, it's better to keep the explanation documents and management shelves separate with different entrances. This way, confusion is minimized. Remember to distinguish between understanding the product on the top and searching for works in the library.
