A method for creating a database that allows content based searching in the music domain is provided. The process provides music samples to music listeners, wherein the music listeners include a plurality of average music listeners and a plurality of expert music listeners. The process further provides a plurality of questions to the average music listeners and the expert music listeners; wherein the plurality of questions require a listener response and every listener response assigns a value to a feature vector, wherein the feature vector defines a music attribute. The process then compares the plurality of music samples, wherein comparing the feature vectors compares the music sample. Thereafter, the process stores the compared data.
