Abstract :
Music is a particular case of audio media that has peculiar requirements for retrieval. Its representation, parallelism and multiple features are some examples of the challenges encountered. In this paper, these challenges are characterized and the techniques commonly used for classification, indexing and searching of music content are described. Whenever possible, comparisons are drawn with text information retrieval.
