Another really amazing project is named
“Search inside the music” and what it actually allows is… literally
searching inside the music!
The amount of music that is released is just of tremendous size.
That obviously presents a practical problem of categorizing and tagging
all the content. For a person it is not easy to arrange all his or her
music collection in such a way that would allow contextual and
meaningful navigation between the tracks.
‘Search inside the music’ does exactly this - it arranges the
collection by the pattern which is calculated from frequency
characteristics of a track. The practical part of the system allows
people to find similar tracks that they enjoy and also extends the
functionality further by integrating with social networking.
The demo which has been presented at the solutions pavilion
demonstrated an exciting 3D application which makes it possible to
browse one’s music collection in 3 dimensions and see how do songs
relate to each other in terms of similarity.
Sun is planning to open-source and release the product once it
reaches a more stable version. Hopefully users might get intelligent
track management in their favorite players and social networks!
