Hey, I am trying to start an online music program with music analyzing at its core, think Pandora. However, I am at a loss as to where to start. I don't think php or other internet languages have the capabilities to analyze audio though I could be wrong. I know there are audio programming languages out there like ChucK, however I don't know if they can be integrated online somehow. I have been trying to find out how Pandora was written. I know it's based off a math algorithm but what programming language was used? Any help you guys can give would be awesome. Thanks.
I think most of Pandora's database was done by hand. I don't think there is an algorithm in the world to analyze audio with such precision and details.
