Searching for music

A method implemented by a computing device, the method comprising:

• receiving a music search request that includes a music file including music content having musical features;
• receiving a selected musical attribute that corresponds to one or more of the musical features;
• determining a feature vector for the music file, the feature vector partitioned to include multiple dimensions each corresponding to a respective one of multiple musical attributes;
• determining distances between the feature vector and additional feature vectors of audio files over the multiple dimensions that correspond to the selected musical attribute;
• and
• determining, based on the distances, one or more of the audio files that are similar to the music file.

A music search system, comprising:

• a memory to maintain elements that represent musical attributes;
• and
• a processor system to implement a music search application at least partially in hardware of a computing device to:
• receive a music search request that includes a music file including music content, the music content having musical features determined by a neural network;
• receive a musical attribute that corresponds to one or more of the musical features;
• compare the one or more musical features corresponding to the musical attribute to audio features of audio files;
• and
• determine a similar audio file to the music file based at least in part on the one or more musical features compared to the audio features of the audio files.
