Forgive my ignorance, but what does SCP mean in this context? (my normal go-to of 'secure copy' doesn't fit).
Thanks for the other links, the question in this title is one I've day-dreamily thought about on occasion, but never dug into. Will have a read of all three.

#8Recognizing a recording isn't hard to do, because, for the same recording, the chords follow each other with precisely repeatable timing. That's been around for well over a decade. Recognizing a different recording, say, a, cover version, of the same song, is much more work.
Audible Magic claims to be able to recognize multiple performances of the same songs, and even parodies.[1] Using, of course, "AI technology" and much more compute.

I think it'll take me longer to understand WTF SCP is than it will to understand how Shazam works.
