The present invention provides a music search device for searching for a
tune by using an impression quantity obtained by quantifying a listener's
impression of such a tune. A tune database contains at least data of a
plurality of tunes and a characteristic quantity obtained by quantifying
characteristics of each tune. The tune database includes an adjustment
table. A reference table storage section stores a reference table
containing a previously obtained set of a characteristic quantity and an
impression quantity for each of a plurality of sample tunes. When an
adjustment input is received, an updating section adds to the adjustment
table a set of a received impression quantity and a characteristic
quantity of a tune associated with the received impression quantity, and
updates the mapping function based on the adjustment table, to which the
set of the impression quantity and the characteristic quantity has been
added, and the reference table.
