Abstract

See full text

A method for indexing audio files to provide a small number of good matches from a search engine is presented. An indexer parses the audio files and generates search keywords which are presented to a user via a graphical user interface. The keywords presented to the user are only those keywords that matched tags obtained from the audio files that were indexed. Thus, the user is never presented information that will not provide a valid search. The user's search query is simply a selection of one of the keywords presented by the indexer. The user can further narrow the search results to audio files that are within a predetermined number of semitones of the project tone. Thus, users need not waste time listening to audio files that are completely out of tone with their projects when search for a particular audio file.
