Content-Based Audio Retrieval

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Fundamentals of Music Processing

Abstract

The revolution in music distribution and storage brought about by digital technology has fueled tremendous interest in and attention to the ways that information technology can be applied to this kind of content. The rapidly growing corpus of digitally available music data requires novel technologies that allow users to browse personal collections or discover new music on the world wide web, or to help music creators to manage and protect their rights.
