The digital revolution has brought about a massive increase in the availability and distribution of music-related documents of various modalities comprising textual, audio, as well as visual material. Therefore, the development of techniques and tools for organizing, structuring, retrieving, navigating, and presenting music-related data has become a major strand of research the field is often referred to as music information retrieval (MIR). Major challenges arise because of the richness and diversity of music in form and content leading to novel and exciting research problems. In this article, we give an overview of new developments in the MIR field with a focus on content-based music analysis tasks including audio retrieval, music synchronization, structure analysis, and performance analysis.
