Abstract
An apparatus and a method for providing music file search function. The apparatus includes an input unit that receives an input of an attribute of a music file to be played, an extract unit that extracts a characteristic segment from the music file according to the input attribute, a 3D-sound generating unit that generates 3D sound from the characteristic segment of the music file along a spatial axis corresponding to the attribute, and an output unit that outputs the 3D sound. The method includes the steps of inputting an attribute of a music file to be played, searching a characteristic segment of the music file according to the input attribute, generating 3D sound from the characteristic segment of the music file along a spatial-axis corresponding to the attribute, and outputting the 3D sound.
