Abstract
Music is not only a set of sounds, it evokes emotions, subjectively perceived by listeners. The growing amount of audio data available on CDs and in the Internet wakes up a need for content-based searching through these files. The user may be interested in finding pieces in a specific mood. The goal of this paper is to elaborate tools for such a search. A method for the appropriate objective description (parameterization) of audio files is proposed, and experiments on a set of music pieces are described. The results are summarized in concluding chapter.
