Signal-based Music Searching and Browsing

This paper describes an approach to the problem of finding songs in some sense similar to a query song. This is a problem of increasing importance, because consumers owning large digital music collections wish to navigate these and to add new songs by searching on-line. The technological approach is described, leading to the description of a simple demonstrator.
