Song recognition in music library based on cloud computing
There are many types of music, and due to the increase of music creators and the development of the Internet, there have been a large number of music. Identifying songs in the music library is conducive to the management and operation of songs, and helps listeners to choose their favorite music. Aiming at this problem, this paper proposes a song recognition method in a music library based on cloud computing. This paper first analyzes the advantages of cloud computing technology, and then proposes a song feature recognition method. Based on the similarity matrix of musical notes, a criterion for selecting note features is given to identify songs in a music library. Finally, the song feature recognition method is combined with cloud computing technology for song recognition. Experiments show that compared with the musical note recognition method with feature weights and the musical note recognition method based on invariant feature extraction of musical notes, the song recognition method in the cloud-based music library proposed in this paper has higher recognition accuracy and faster recognition speed.

Studying musical creativity for managing music library services
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to study and quantify musicians' creativity in order to tune music library services and pinpoint potential musical creative activities.Design/methodology/approach/methodology/approachWebster's conceptual framework for the creative thinking process in music is informing our survey while the analysis adopts a multiple criteria method for quantifying musical creativity. strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis is also adopted developing strategic decisions based on musicians' creativity behaviours.FindingsMental representations of the music heard (listening) is the most important dimension for creative thinking in music while dimensions such as recorded improvisations (improvisation), written analysis (analysis) and composed music scores (composition) follow. SWOT analysis provides further indications for music library services development based on musicians' creativity behaviours.Originality/valueThis study proposes a novel research vein based on multicriteria analysis within the contexts of musical creativity for managing music library services.

Music librarianship and creativity
PurposeInternational Association of Music Libraries, Archives and Documentation Centres (IAML) aims to promote activities and cooperation between music libraries worldwide. IAML configures policies affecting to set up their working framework as well as music information services at national and international level. Furthermore, IAML’s function promotes the role of music libraries linking the cultural life of every place, fostering musical creativity. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to present the crucial role of IAML’s function in enhancing musical creativity.Design/methodology/approachThe paper provides theoretical and practical issues on topics related to music information employed for musical creativity in the context of music librarianship. It presents the function of music information management organizations and especially that of IAML as a mechanism for enhancing musical creativity, and at the same time it discusses suggestions and practices for the interrelation between them. More specifically, it discusses perspectives about educational programs on information literacy for musical creativity, the enhancement of the digital presence of all musical trends (the long tail to the demand of music information services), the strengthening of the culture of openness to a wider scale and the use of music information management software, as well as the linkage and stimulation of synergies between music information management organizations for the benefit of various music communities.FindingsThe outcomes of the study set up a theoretical connection between music librarianship issues and musical creativity, in terms of identifying that musical creativity is directly linked to music information and to the operation of the music libraries, and it can also be influenced by the availability of music information services and the information profile of the musicians involved.Originality/valueThe significance and originality of the study should be emphasized since it is the first study providing theoretical and practical issues linking music librarianship with musical creativity.

Changing Their Tune: How Consumers’ Adoption of Online Streaming Affects Music Consumption and Discovery
Instead of purchasing individual content, streaming adopters rent access to libraries from which they can consume content at no additional cost. In this paper, we study how the adoption of music streaming affects listening behavior. Using a unique panel data set of individual consumers’ listening histories across many digital music platforms, adoption of streaming leads to very large increases in the quantity and diversity of consumption in the first months after adoption. Although the effects attenuate over time, even after half a year, adopters play substantially more, and more diverse, music. Relative to music ownership, where experimentation is expensive, adoption of streaming increases new music discovery. While repeat listening to new music decreases, users’ best discoveries have higher play rates. We discuss the implications for consumers and producers of music.
