"GenreID" works like a classical pattern recognition
system. During a training phase several music pieces are assigned
to one genre. The features of the training pieces, discarded
in so called representative classes, describe the accordant
genre category. Thus, an unknown piece of music is affiliated
to a certain genre by comparing the describing features with
the representative classes. At present nine genre categories
are differed - Classic, Rock/Pop, Jazz, Electronic, Rap, R'n'B,
Country, Reggae and Speech.
Internet based music service providers can enhance their
browsing systems by this innovative module in order to recommend
the user music pieces from the same genre category. Home users
benefit from "GenreID" when automatically generating
"personalized radio" play lists from their own music
collection. In professional products "GenreID" can
help selecting music for compiling radio program or for selecting
the correct music category as soundtrack for a movie or commercial.
Furthermore, an implementation e.g. in the car radio for the
automatic search of the radio station which is playing the
favoured kind of music is imaginable. "GenreID"
is also applicable on embedded systems as a result of compact
reference classes and the very fast classification.
