  Music Genres, as a popular meta-data of music, are very useful to organize,
explore or search music datasets. Soft music genres are weighted multiple-genre
annotations to songs. In this initial work, we propose horizontally stacked bar
charts to represent a music dataset annotated by these soft music genres. For
this purpose, we take an example of a toy dataset consisting of songs labelled
with help of three music genres; Blues, Jazz and Country. We demonstrate how
such a stacked bar chart can be used as a slider for user-input in an
interface. We implement this by embedding this genre bar in a streaming
application prototype and show its utility in choosing playlists. We finally
conclude by proposing further work and future explorations on our proposed
preliminary research.
