I have a large collection of sound files which have been analysed to create arbitary meta-data for each file (such as 'brightness', 'attack', etc)"

I'd like to be able to create a system where I could choose a file to play based on the closest one in an n-dimensional space, with the dimensions being the aforementioned brightness or attack etc.

I think the Jitter matrix objects are probably the solution but I've never done any database programming or worked with those kind of data arrays.

I'd be really grateful if anyone can point out any good avenues to explore before I dive in. All the jitter tutorials I've looked at have been very much video based.
