MUSIC PROFILING

A method of creating a profile of a library having a plurality of audio files and a method of recommending audio-based content to a user based on a library profile. The audio-based content may be, for example, music or songs. A method of creating a profile of a library having a plurality of audio files comprises obtaining a fingerprint of each audio file in the library, the fingerprint of an audio file being a representation of sound data associated with the audio file; and determining a fingerprint of the library, the library fingerprint being a composite of the fingerprints of each audio file in the library. A method of recommending audio-based content stored in an audio-database on a system to a user comprises obtaining a fingerprint of a user library having a plurality of audio files, the library fingerprint being a composite of a fingerprint of each audio file in the library; comparing the user's library fingerprint to the fingerprint of the audio files in the audio file database; and selecting at least one audio file from the audio file database for recommending to a user, the selected at least one audio file having a fingerprint similar to the user's fingerprint within a pre-determined tolerance.
