Fwd: [Clam-devel] [Fwd: [MUSIC-IR] Web Services for audio feature extraction and self-organizing music maps]

[Natanael Olaiz]

Very nice!

What I imagine for a web interface is applied to Annotator tools. Not 
just a frontend to Annotator/Extractors, but more a database / search 
engine.  Have you saw the Musipedia project (http://www.musipedia.org/)? 
I found it amazing... And that makes me think: all the information and 
metadata given by the extractors of Annotator could be used to make a 
powerful songs database/search engine with some kind of musipedia-like 
interface -without the humming plugin-!

I like this idea for GSoC...
What the mentors think about it?


Best regards,
Natanael.
