Abstract-The ever-increasing density of computer storage devices has allowed the average user to store enormous quantities of multimedia content, and a large amount of this content is usually music. We present a query-by-content system which searches the actual audio content of the music and supports querying in several styles using a Self-Organizing Map as its basis. Empirical results demonstrate the viability of this approach for musical query-by-content.
In Dickerson REF , the SOM was used to describe the properties of music and created a query-by-content system that operates independent of the user's query style.
