EN This paper presents the outcomes of the recent development of the existing digital library dedicated to Polish traditional music, aimed at improving the discovery of musical heritage objects at the level of national and European digital content aggregators. Music transcriptions of over 4,000 traditional songs and melodies in symbolic formats (MIDI, MusicXML and MEI) were added to the library together with rich metadata adapted to Dublin Core standard. Both transcriptions and metadata were created by expert musicologists based on a published anthology book series on Polish traditional music. Subsequent library integration with the Polish metadata aggregator (Digital Libraries Federation) enabled improved folk tunes discovery thanks to implemented melodic-content search.
