The 42nd International Audio Engineering Society Conference on Semantic Audio The evolution of digital audio technologies, audio compression and streaming has significantly changed the way digital audio is consumed, managed and edited. Personal music collections nowadays comprise up to ten-thousands of music titles. Even mobile devices are able to store some thousands of songs. But these magnitudes are nothing compared to the vast amount of music data digitally available on the Internet. New audio content can be produced at a very low cost, thus user-generated content grows more and more each day.
