This 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)
The linked page pegs one of my CPU cores to 100%. Anyone else get the same thing?
Yup. Locked up firefox for me for quite some time. Was compiling at the time, so didn't think too much of it..
Now, if the app was able to lipsync to any tune, that would be more impressive. It's certainly doable, see e.g. Tony Ezzat's "Mary 101" system from 10 years back: http://people.csail.mit.edu/tonebone/research/mary101/

Most are sped up a little (single-digit percentage), so they can fit more songs (or more commercials) in each hour.
I wonder what sort of time distortion the matching algorithm can handle?
