So there are a looot of gotchas here, and I'll preface this by saying that I'm not a lawyer and that this isn't legal advice. Here we go:

-If this is for a class project, I would just use samples/clips from the songs (not the whole song) or simply use CC-licensed (or similar) works. Ask your teacher and/or departmental legal counsel if this would fall under their definition of "fair use." I know some students who just assume fair use and then are surprised when their institutors get angry at them.
-As far as technique goes, you could simply put the songs on a filesystem and index them in a database. Use the DB to search, then have the Web server serve them up. If you're streaming the songs, this could get a little more complicated.

What other concerns do you have?
