A person could upload a midi file with as many notes as they can remember and the search engine would return information on compositions similar to that tune. With some voice recognition, one could hum or sing what they knew of the lyrics and the search engine could work from that. In order for the search engine to adjust its settings to the person's pitch, one could sing their rendition of a common song i.e. Happy Birthday and the engine would learn that person.

       Not a bad idea.

       Except that you would need a database of many many songs in MIDI format which might be hard to track down more than just pop tunes and classical music. Technically, MIDI versions of copyrighted songs are not public domain so you would have to pay licensing for all those songs. It would be cool, but I think there would be some really big hurdles to overcome...

       [DN]: If all you want is the song title, you won't infringe on the copyright. MIDI file format isn't necessary. Most songs can be differentiated by the relative pitch of notes in the melody, ie. (note) (up) (down) (down)....
