Thread: Sound Based Search

This is something very interesting for people who like music. Remember sometimes how difficult and frustrating it becomes when you forget the name of the song which you want to search online. To top it all, sometimes you even forget the lyrics. All you remember is the tune ofthe song. But being a diehard fan of music, you can't just leave the feeling of listening to that music.

That's the type of customers which Musipedia is trying to harness. In this website, one can find any music and purchase/ download it. The searching can be done either by typing the name of the song, or by playing the melody of the song on a virtual keyboard or just by whistling the melody to the computer's microphone or even by tapping the keyboard. The website recognizes the timing and nodes of the song and accordingly it searches for the correct song instantly. Then you can either play or just purchase the song. Well! I am not very sure about some other usability of such technology, but yes, I whistled out some five songs to it and it was only able to search two for me. So either My Whistling is bad (which is quite possible) or this technology has to go a long way before it's accepted by the actual neitzans.
