Does anyone know of a site where you can upload a **portion** of a song to a music search engine, and that search engine will return other songs that contain similar sounds/melodies/tempo/etc?  
This differs from sites like pandora where you pick a song then they present you with other songs you might like. For me, sometimes I only like a portion of the song and would like to find other music that contains similar sounds to just the portion that I uploaded. Please email, I look forward to hearing from anyone, thank you
