Computerized genre analysis

[Lawrence Borden <lawrence.borden@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

Can anyone suggest research that has resulted in genre classification by
computerized analysis? Humans seem to do this by making statements like "oh
that sounds a little like Bob Marley." The underlying similarities are
clearly being analyzed against the listener's memories of remembered/heard
works. How would or has a computer gone about the same task?

I can imagine that a good algorithm would get better and better results with
more and more musical samples. True??
