Original Kurzfassung:
Audio-based music similarity measures can be used to automatically
generate playlists or recommendations. In this
paper the similarity measure that won the ISMIR’04 genre
classification contest is reviewed. In addition, further improvements
are presented. In particular, two new descriptors
are presented and combined with two previously published
similarity measures. The performance is evaluated
in a series of experiments on four music collections. The
evaluations are based on genre classification, assuming
that very similar tracks belong to the same genre. On two
collections the improvements lead to a substantial performance
increase.
