Super MBox

Abstract

This demo presents an implementation of a content-based music retrieval system that can take a user's acoustic input (8-second clip of singing or humming) via a microphone and then retrieve the intended song from a database containing 13,000 candidate songs. The system, known as Super MBox, demonstrates the feasibility of real-time music retrieval with a high recognition rate, which can be used for music search engines over the Internet and/or query engines in digital music libraries or karaoke machines.
