Introduction: Representative concepts of music information domain are related to many dimensions: emotional, structural, technological, etc., varying its representation forms for retrieval purposes.Objective: Focusing on the emotional dimension related to listeners' musical experiences, the goal of this paper was to reveal the aspects expressed by the users in their comments about a specific song and video clip, and to relate these aspects with music information representation field.
Methodology: We collected 304 comments from Youtube and we analyzed language, extension and expression forms, presence and nature of the expressed emotional aspects. Inductively, we verified the facets to which comments were referring to.
Results: The main forms of expression used by users were textual, emojis or emoticons. A total of 79,1% of comments expressed some emotional aspect, being 53,6% positives and 13,1% negatives. Inductive analysis resulted in 12 emotional facets, referring to sound aspects, emotions evoked by past experiences, among others.
Conclusions: The facets represent the user point of view in a way of general classification that can be used to guide recommendation systems, be a source of extraction of natural language terms, acting as supporting to enrich semantically terms and expressions for music information retrieval
