Music is an arrangement of audio signals of varying complexity transmitted over the airwaves (airwaves wrt. sound, not expressly limited to radio frequencies).
Specifications
Compact Disk
Compact Disk (also spelled Compact Disc; commonly abbreviated CD) is a medium used by the Music industry in the 1980s-2000s for the retail sale and convenient distribution of music.
ID3
ID3 tags are used in MP3 files to store the title of the song, as well as information about the artist, album, genre, year and track number. ID3 V2 contains far more information than ID3 V1. There are soome existing services and programs which can be used to augment ID3 V2 tags even further, for example, to display an image.
For more details, see: Audio#ID3
Music Ontology
"The Music Ontology Specification provides main concepts and properties fo describing music (i.e. artists, albums, tracks, but also performances, arrangements, etc.) on the Semantic Web. This document contains a detailed description of the Music Ontology."[4]
The Internet changed the music industry. At first, P2P file sharing systems such as Napster allowed users to share any music they had on their computer with millions of other people. While this new-found freedom for music consumers had a profound effect on the business model of record labels, it pales into insignificance when compared to more recent developments in Internet music culture.
Online social networking communities such as MySpace have tapped into the underlying interest, particularly amongst the young, for self-made, indie music by allowing them to create personalised, Web-delivered identities with a very strong focus on musical interests. Millions of users have been able to carve out their musical niche, bypassing the record labels and appealing directly to their target audiences.
While MySpace provides a mechanism for artists to generate new content easily, free databases such as MusicBrainz continue the more traditional model of music classification, archiving millions of artists, albums and tracks. Music recommendation services such as Pandora attempt to match users' musical interests to new tracks through folksonomic tagging and algorithmic comparison. And, emulating more closely the model of the record labels online, companies such as Apple are now selling individual tracks at $0.99 USD with services such as iTunes.
At that point, the music industry of the 1980s and earlier - a small number of lead artists signed by an even smaller number of large record labels - was completely changed.
The Music Ontology is an attempt to link all the information about musical artists, albums and tracks together, from MusicBrainz to MySpace. The goal is to express all relations between musical information in order to help people find anything about music and musicians. It is based around the concept of machine readable information provided by any web site or web service dealing with music on the Web.

MusicBrainz
MusicBrainz is the world's largest free/open source, collaborative music community.
DBTune
DBTune hosts a number of servers, providing access to music-related structured data, in a Linked Data fashion. It now provides access to more than 14 billion RDF triples. All the services hosted here are based on open Web standards such as RDF and SPARQL.
This effort is part of the Linking Open Data on the Semantic Web community project, hosted by the Semantic Web Education and Outreach interest group.

BBC - Semantic Music Project
BBC recently launched a new Music beta site focused on Semantic Web technologies and (to a limited extent) linked, open data. The site is meant to "enable you to explore artists played on BBC Radio music programmes".[64]
The BBC acknowledges on their main page that the beta site is powered primarily by MusicBrainz, which is an open content music database.

inDiscover
inDiscover is a service designed to help bring independent music to new listeners. We appeal to both musicians and people interested in hearing fresh new music, by recommending songs based on our user's tastes. Songs are provided by independent artists from around the world in mp3 format.
By using a technique called collaborative filtering, we are able to predict how much a given user would like a specific song based on how they have previously rated other songs. After a user rates a song, they are presented with 2 playlists; one of songs that we KNOW that they like, and one of songs we THINK they will like.
By having users rate along different categories (eg. how well would a song be to listen to while working out?) we are able to compose playlists for each of those categories (eg. a playlist of songs we think you would like to workout to).
