The CUIDADO project (Content-based Unified Interfaces and Descriptors for Audio/music Databases available Online) aims at delivering new applications based on the systematic use of audio and music descriptors, which address new needs of the professional and consumer audio/music chain. Descriptors and descriptor schemes combine knowledge bases and numerical features of the audio contents, and their use is intended for many classes of new applications. We describe the two main applications developed within Cuidado : the Sound Palette, dedicated to content-based access for large databases of sound samples for music and audio production, and the Music Browser, addressing new needs for content-based access to large catalogues of music titles.
