Abstract The CUIDADO Project (Content-based Unified Interfaces and Descriptors for Audio/music Databases available Online) aims at developing a new chain of applications through the use of audio/music content descriptors, in the spirit of the MPEG-7 standard. The project includes the design of appropriate description structures, the development of extractors for deriving high-level information from audio signals, and the design and implementation of two applications: the Sound Palette and the Music Browser. These applications include new features, which systematically exploit high-level descriptors and provide users with content-based access to large catalogues of audio/music material. The Sound Palette focuses on audio samples and targets professional users, whereas the Music Browser addresses a broader user target through the management of Popular music titles. After a presentation of the project objectives and methodology, we describe the original features of the two applications based on the systematic use of descriptors and the technical architecture framework on which they rely.
