               TOWARDS A DIGITAL LIBRARY OF POPULAR MUSIC

Digital libraries of music have the potential to capture popular 
imagination in ways that more scholarly libraries cannot. At the 
University of Waikato (New Zealand) we are working towards a 
comprehensive digital library of musical material, including popular 
music. We have developed new ways of collecting musical material, 
accessing it through searching and browsing, and presenting the 
results to the user. We work with different representations of 
music: facsimile images of scores, the internal representation 
of a music editing program, page images typeset by a music editor, 
MIDI files, audio files representing sung user input, and textual 
metadata such as title, composer and arranger, and lyrics. The talk 
will include demonstrations of the various components of the system.
