Wouldn't it be great if it do this with sound effects too? ie find similar sounding fx to a selected one from your library.
Years ago, the bright guys at Soundminer wrote some code called "SoundDigger" that was a SFX thesaurus. You would take a sound, and it would search for other sounds with similar spectral footprints. It's no longer in Soundminer. Steve Pecile talked about this on the Soundminer forum within the last year and explained that to really do it right, they would have needed to license some very exotic code, and that the licensing fee would have raised the price of Soundminer too much to justify including the code.

Fascinating idea though, and certainly one that we'll see in the future.
