What is Musipedia?
Musipedia is a comprehensive music search engine and collaborative encyclopedia that allows users to find tunes and musical themes using only the melody. Whether played on a keyboard, whistled, or sung into the computer, the melody is the sole requirement to search Musipedia or the broader web for the desired composition. Unlike traditional search engines that rely on textual metadata, Musipedia's unique functionality enables users to locate musical works based purely on the note sequence. The platform's collection is collaboratively editable by the community, akin to the open-source model of Wikipedia, fostering a rich and continually expanding database of musical knowledge
