Popis: The field of Music Information Retrieval is still very immature although it has been addressed by a substantial number of research projects over past three decades. Many problems are faced in music information retrieval due to the nature of music itself. In this paper, the basic representation of audio and video are discussed along with the challenges of music retrieval. The need for music information is discussed using the statistical survey. The paper challenges the common assumption that searching on the pitch alone is satisfactory and discusses the other features which can aid in searching. This assumption may indeed be right for monophonic music but it is insufficient for polyphonic music. Even in monophonic music the possibility of faulty results can’t be ignored.
