2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the displayed song element axis is adapted to be disposed substantially orthogonally in respect with the music album information element axis.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the displayed song element axis is adapted to intersect the music album axis substantially at the selected music album element.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the music album information elements are adapted to be represented by their respective music album art image.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the music album axis is adapted to be scrolled.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein each song element is adapted to have a music album element associated therewith.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the music album elements axis and at least a portion of the song element axis are substantially coplanar.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the selected music album element and the song element axis are substantially coplanar.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the music album information element axis and the song element axis are graphically associated.
10. A device, comprising a processor configured to present a graphical user interface for organizing a plurality of music album elements and song elements, the graphical user interface being adapted to:
provide a first display area adapted to display a music album element axis adapted to display a plurality of music album elements;
display a plurality of music album elements on the music album element axis when the music album element axis is displayed; and
provide a second display area adapted to display retrieved song elements along a song element axis, the song element axis being adapted to be displayed in a direction adapted to intersect the music album element axis.
11. The device of claim 10 , wherein the displayed song elements axis is adapted to be substantially orthogonally disposed in respect with the music album element axis.
12. The device of claim 10 , wherein a selection of a music album element is adapted to retrieve song elements associated with the selected music album element.
13. The device of claim 10 , wherein the selected music album element and the song element axis are coplanar.
14. The device of claim 10 , wherein the music album elements are adapted to be represented by their respective music album art image.
15. The device of claim 10 , wherein a music album axis is adapted to be scrolled.
16. The device of claim 10 , wherein each song element is adapted to have a music album associated therewith.
17. The device of claim 10 , wherein at least a portion of the music album element axis are rectilinear.
18. The device of claim 10 , wherein the music album elements axis and the song element axis are adapted to be graphically associated.
19. A system for organizing music files in a computer system having a display and being capable of manipulating a plurality of music album elements and song elements, the system comprising:
(A) a display;
(B) a plurality of music album elements, at least one music album element having song elements associated therewith;
(C) at least one storage device adapted to store the plurality of music album elements and song elements;
(D) a user interface adapted to receive inputs from a user;
(E) a processing unit which is adapted to:
(i) generate a music album element axis comprising a group of music album elements and being selected from the plurality of music album elements stored in the at least one storage device;
(ii) cause a display of the music album element axis by the display;
(iii) generate a song element axis based on a selection of a music album element, the song element axis being adapted to display a plurality of song elements selected from the plurality of song elements stored in the storage; and
(iv) cause a display of the song element axis in a direction adapted to intersect the music album element axis.
20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the selection of the music album element from the music album information element axis is adapted to retrieve song elements associated with the selected music album information element.
