> A website is using sound recognition to help stop
> the annoying problem of not being able to remember
> the name of a song.
>
> The Midomi website uses audio and search
> technologies from Melodis Corporation to match a
> song that the user hums, whistles or sings into a
> computer microphone.
>
> Midomi hopes to build a comprehensive database of
> searchable music using contributions from users.
>
> Personal performances submitted by Midomi members in
> the online recording studio will appear as search
> results.
>
> "With midomi.com we have created one of the most
> entertaining search engines on the web," said Keyvan
> Mohajer, chief executive at Melodis.
>
> "Users will be able to search our extensive database
> as well as help grow it. When a user sings and saves
> their favourite songs, the submissions immediately
> become part of the searchable MARS universe."
