A method to enable one to search for a song title when only its melody is known. An interface is used which allows the user to enter the melody in an easy to understand manner. A remote music database with melody information is searched for the melody entered by the user. using, for example, a peak or differential matching algorithm. Upon receiving a search request, a database server, i.e., a remote computer, which can be accessed by the user via a client PC, sends a web page, for example, in HTML or Java containing the search results to the client PC. The client PC receives and displays the search results on the monitor and exchanges data with the server. Sound may also be played through the sound card to connected speakers.
