#12Is this a "me, too" kind of thing? Or is it different than Sound Hound or Shazam in some way?
Edit: ah, now I see. It syncs up video, not just scrolling text lyrics.

#14 Why? Why? Why the fuck?
Nerdie homes must make a buck.
Have a need? Scratch that itch.
Take a break to hack that bitch.
People hurt & need more meds,
Hacker rather show his creds.
Breakthrus needed by a sage,
But iphone apps r all the rage.
Enterprise really sucks
Hackers never get those bucks.
Web apps used to be the hack
But mobile's got a "craftsman's" back.
Analysis!
Paralysis!
Algorithms!
Distillation!
Interpretation!
Compilation!
Deployment to the cloud.
Disruption now allowed.
Users need a good solution
But all they get is more polution.
Something no one ever needed.
HN front page: he succeeded.
Nerdie homes must make a buck.

#16On this topic I guess. I recently used shazamm (or the other one) and it - in addition to finding the song - showed me the lyrics in real time, highlighting the current line in the song. Really impressive.
That was probably soundhound

#17This is totally awesome; way beyond my iOS knowledge. Any pointers or tips you learnt about audio processing along the way?
I'm doing FFTs at regular intervals using the Accelerate framework. Then a lot of rolling window comparisons of frequency data to try and determine which fingerprints these frequencies match closest.
Expect a blog post soon (Y)

It's using a ton of videos we recorded with Tinie on one grey London afternoon

Why do you say that? Shazam does it too, since 2011 when it acquired Tunezee to power that functionality.

#20Apparently very few of you read the article...
It's a smart way for a rapper to market his music. I chuckled as I watched the video, and learned about a rapper I hadn't heard of before.
Harmless fun.
