The invention relates to a music retrieval system comprising input means ( 210 ) for inputting user data ( 310 ) representative of music, memory means ( 220 ) for storing pieces of music, retrieval means ( 230 ) for retrieving a desired piece of music ( 330 ) in accordance with the user input data ( 310 ) upon finding a match between a particular one of the pieces of music stored in the memory means ( 220 ) and the user input data ( 310 ), and output means ( 250 ) for reproducing at least a fraction of the retrieved piece of music. According to the invention, the system further comprises output control means ( 240 ) determining, from the user input data ( 310 ), a current position ( 360 ) within the retrieved piece of music ( 330 ), said output control means being adapted to cause a start ( 370 ) of the fraction ( 380 ) of the retrieved piece of music to substantially coincide with said position ( 360 ). The invention also relates to a method of retrieving music suitable for implementing the disclosed music retrieval system.
