MACHINE LEARNING BASED CLOUD MUSIC APPLICATION WITH FACIAL RECOGNITION USING ANDROID STUDIO (MUSYNC)

This paper output is a music player application but when it comes to its features it will be way more than a simple music player. It is developed on Android Studio and other tools like: Firebase is used as database, Android phone camera, Music library of Android Phone are used in the development of application. When user changes his phone or reset his phone then all of his data is lost or user has to put all the data in his computer and then back to his mobile phone except data that is backed up online. Message data, photos and contacts are that things that users backed up online. But music files normally don’t get backed up and user troubles in re downloading the files or moving files in computer and back to phone. In this purposed work the targeted problem is resolved as MUSYNC application is be able to automatically backup all the mp3 data from the phone and user will get all of his data by just signing in the application in his new phone. The purposed application has a feature of sync music. Users can sync music with another one and that person will able to listen to same music instantly. Application also provides a unique feature of mood detection using digital image processing DIP. This feature is able to check your face emotion and play music according to it. User just has to take a picture and that is it, this music player plays the music according to your mood. This feature is useful when user having tough time what to listen.

Feature Extraction of Music Signal Based on Adaptive Wave Equation Inversion

The digitization, analysis, and processing technology of music signals are the core of digital music technology. There is generally a preprocessing process before the music signal processing. The preprocessing process usually includes antialiasing filtering, digitization, preemphasis, windowing, and framing. Songs in the popular wav format and MP3 format on the Internet are all songs that have been processed by digital technology and do not need to be digitalized. Preprocessing can affect the effectiveness and reliability of the feature parameter extraction of music signals. Since the music signal is a kind of voice signal, the processing of the voice is also applicable to the music signal. In the study of adaptive wave equation inversion, the traditional full-wave equation inversion uses the minimum mean square error between real data and simulated data as the objective function. The gradient direction is determined by the cross-correlation of the back propagation residual wave field and the forward simulation wave field with respect to the second derivative of time. When there is a big gap between the initial model and the formal model, the phenomenon of cycle jumping will inevitably appear. In this paper, adaptive wave equation inversion is used. This method adopts the idea of penalty function and introduces the Wiener filter to establish a dual objective function for the phase difference that appears in the inversion. This article discusses the calculation formulas of the accompanying source, gradient, and iteration step length and uses the conjugate gradient method to iteratively reduce the phase difference. In the test function group and the recorded music signal library, a large number of simulation experiments and comparative analysis of the music signal recognition experiment were performed on the extracted features, which verified the time-frequency analysis performance of the wave equation inversion and the improvement of the decomposition algorithm. The features extracted by the wave equation inversion have a higher recognition rate than the features extracted based on the standard decomposition algorithm, which verifies that the wave equation inversion has a better decomposition ability.

Listening to the blues: An ecological momentary assessment of music choice in depression.

Persons with depression consistently report a different pattern of music preference, compared to nondepressed persons. Are such preferences maladaptive or beneficial? We tested this question in a study with 3 parts that examined 77 participants' (39 with and 38 without clinical depression) music choice in daily life, affective changes after music listening, and the reasons for music listening. During a 3-day ecological momentary assessment, participants chose a song from a preset music library of happy and sad songs and rated their affect before and after hearing the chosen song. In addition, we analyzed the characteristics (e.g., tempo) of songs participants listened to more than 5 times over 7 days (from participants' Spotfiy music streaming accounts; favorite songs). Finally, we analyzed the reasons for music listening in general when feeling happy and sad. Unlike nondepressed persons, persons with depression lacked a preference for happy over sad songs in daily contexts. Notably, both groups reported increased relaxedness as well as decreased happiness after hearing sad songs. Further, favorite songs of persons with depression had a slower tempo than nondepressed persons' ones. When reporting reasons to listen to music when feeling sad, both groups were less likely to report that they listened to music to increase high arousal positive affect, compared to other reasons. One reason that may attract persons with depression to sad music is a desire to feel calm. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved).

Mixtapes from Heaven: The Global Duke Ellington Fandom and the Music they Preserved

The Rhodes S. Baker, Jr. Collection of rare and unissued sound recordings at the University of North Texas Music Library demonstrates that, in archival settings, the incidental content that is often deleted from commercial releases is actually “a feature, not a bug,” so to speak. This article elaborates on two reasons for the desirability and necessity of such content: First, it often provides the context necessary to make sense of a given recording, determining a date and release status, especially for recordings that are not well labeled. It also provides lasting evidence of the human activity underlying every aspect of the performance, capture, distribution, and preservation of a recording.
 The Rhodes S. Baker, Jr. Collection’s unissued recordings of Duke Ellington and other major jazz artists, packed onto reel-to-reel tapes like the “mixtapes” of decades later, have obvious intrinsic value. Still, preserving and acknowledging the human activity that compiled them adds value: doing so provides a window into the depth and intensity of the “fandom” (or community of fans) that thrived for Ellington even in his sixties, along with the multifaceted efforts to preserve his live performances.
 Ellington and his music created an international fan community, and their story augments his own. This article describes historically significant content from the Rhodes S. Baker, Jr. Collection, digitized in early 2016, in the context of the social participation of Baker and other fans and collectors, including the prominent Swedish collector and discographer Benny Aasland. The preservation and description of the collection demonstrates a complementary relationship between archival practice and musicologist Christopher Small’s concept of musicking. Insights from Pauline Oliveros and John Cage further inform an approach to musicking inclusive of incidental sounds and other artifacts of recorded live performance which might otherwise be dismissed as “noise,” but are essential to the full context of the captured performance.

Supporting the Needs of Children through Arts and Culture: An Interview with Anabel Negrín (Librarian of El Parnaso, Uruguay Services for Children and Teenagers)

El Parnaso is an interesting cultural center in the small city of Young, which is located a bit north of Trinidad, Uruguay. This center is a non-profit organization dedicated to meeting the information needs of its population, and it contains a children’s library and a music library. El Parnaso hosts a wide variety of activities for children and young people, including music, origami, and even Greek language. Anabel Negrín is the librarian of El Parnaso, and she is responsible for managing the library’s resources and offers information services to users who visit. A native Youngenese, Negrín has returned to her birthplace after working in various academic libraries in Uruguay. In this interview, she introduces her library, gives an overview of various education issues in Uruguay, and provides interesting stories about her experience at El Parnaso.

AI based Music Recommendation system using Deep Learning Algorithms

The customized recommendation framework for music should accurately represent private tastes. To obtain tailored feedback for the needs of various viewers, it takes adjustments. To find the better deep learning model for the recommendation may pave a way for a better recommender. Compared to the previous era, with commercial music streaming sites that can be downloaded from mobile devices, digital music availability is currently plentiful. It takes a very long time to figure out all this digital music and induces data exhaustion. It may be helpful to create a music recommendation system that can automatically scan the music libraries and suggest appropriate songs to users. The music provider will anticipate and then give their customers the appropriate songs based on the characteristics of the music previously heard by using the music recommendation system. Our study would like to build a framework for music recommendations that can provide recommendations based on the similarity of audio signal features. This research uses the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and the Recurrent Neural Network (RNN). Customized recommendation system for music should effectively represent private preferences. To attain tailored recommendations for the demands of different listeners, it needs changes and therefore, attempting to find a better deep learning model for the recommendation will pave a way for a better recommender.
