Gap in Coverage

First of all, my apologies for the lack of posts lately. When I get to the last few weeks of each semester, I don’t seem to have time for anything other than paper writing.

As far as the next step for Universal Music Classification, I’ve decided that a sort of top-down way of designing the system would probably be best. That is, it will probably come together most effectively by starting with the most general categories and working toward the more specific. In the next post, I’ll give my vision for the first and most general subdivision of music by its stylistic characteristics. Future posts will then refine the categories further.

Thanks for your patience.
