<p>A system and method for querying a music database (302), the database containing a plurality of indexed pieces of music, where the query (104) is performed by forming a database request consisting of a conditional expression relating to the name and/or attributes of the desired piece of music. Associated parameters are derived from the database query, and compared with corresponding parameters for the other pieces of music in the database (302). A desired piece of music is determined by searching for a minimum distance between the database query parameters and those associated with the pieces of music in the database (302). <IMAGE></p> |
