About Fundamentals of Music Processing#

The book Fundamentals of Music Processing (FMP) is a textbook by Meinard Müller, a well-known and prolific researcher in MIR, and published by Springer in 2015.

For many years, the field of music information retrieval has suffered from a lack of consolidated texts which unify its many disparate topics. Until now, students and researchers have had to learn about MIR mostly by reading the original research papers – a daunting task. FMP is perhaps the best attempt to address this issue. It is a self-contained textbook which covers many MIR tasks such as feature extraction, audio-to-score alignment, musical form and structure, chord recognition, beat tracking, fingerprinting, and source separation.

We integrated content from FMP into musicinformationretrieval.com in 2016.
