Abstract

See full text

A system and method permit users to selectively search for, and identify short segments (called snippets) of music. The user may enter one or more search terms for which they are searching within a database of musical selections. Once the search terms have been defined, the user initiates the search by selecting the search button. The system searches for one or more of the musical selections that most closely match the user's search parameters, and returns those musical selections as search results back to the user. The user then selects one of the results of the search that they like best. Once the selection is made, the user may input recipient information for the person to which they would like to send this musical selection. This musical selection may then be sent to the recipient by the system.
