Abstract

Query by Singing/Humming (QBSH) is a most natural way for music search. A music search system can help music finders search songs by matching a part of melody by singing or humming. Many music information retrieval techniques have been developed to carry out music search for years. On the other hand, thanks to the rapid growth of mobile wireless Internet technologies this decade, music search applications can be implemented on hand-carried devices, such as cellular phones, to conduct music search anytime and anywhere via any available networks, such as Wi-Fi, UMTS, WiMAX to the emerging 3GPP-LTE networks. In the past, little studies had ever been revealed about how to design and implement a lightweight music search engine over a fixed or mobile Internet. In this article, we aim to elaborate a practical skeleton of developing a simple music search engine over fixed or mobile networks—a Fixed-Mobile Convergent Music Search Engine (FMC-MUSE). FMC-MUSE can process music queries by QBSH from fixed or mobile clients and return a dataset containing the search results and meta-info back to music finders via ubiquitous networks.
