  abstract = {Several applications in the field of content-based interaction
             with music repositories rely on measures which estimate the
             perceived similarity of music. These applications include
             automatic genre recognition, playlist generation, and recommender
             systems. In this paper we study methods to evaluate the
             performance of such measures. We compare five measures which use
             only the information extracted from the audio signal and discuss
             how these measures can be evaluated qualitatively and
             quantitatively without resorting to large scale listening tests.},
