PURPOSE: A music searching apparatus and a system are provided to search an audio by delivering an audio signal to an audio search engine, thereby search a song. CONSTITUTION: An audio search engine(201) searches a song depending on an input audio signal. A first A/D converter(202) converts an analog audio signal into a digital signal. A fist I/S selector(203) selects any one of a signal output path among a first signal output path and a second signal output path. An audio signal receiving unit wirelessly receives an audio signal outputted from a wireless microphone. A first audio search controller(204) controls so that the first I/S selector selects the second signal output path. The first audio search controller delivers an audio signal, which is converted into digital through the first A/D converter, to the audio search engine.
