Content-Based Music Information Retrieval: Current Directions and Future Challenges

@article{Casey2008mir, abstract = {<para> The steep rise in music downloading over CD sales has created a major shift in the music industry away from physical media formats and towards online products and services. Music is one of the most popular types of online information and there are now hundreds of music streaming and download services operating on the World-Wide Web.
