What are ways of visualizing music?
NOTE! I'm not talking about pretty but useless fractal-like visualiziations, I want actual, useful visual hints for describing music.
Most music application interfaces today visualize lists of music by showing the name of the track, artists or album, or perhaps the the album art or a picture of the artist. But this tells us ridiculously little about what kind of music it is. How could one make an interface so that you could, at a glance, see that a song from Movits is a Swingy mix of jazz and hiphop?
Categorization/analysis does not need to be automated.

Facebook Data Science should do this, and sell the data to record labels, so they can stop making crap changes like ads in the News Feed..
