The user can paste a youtube url which will then be analysed, fingerprinted and matched against a database of 7+ million audio fingerprints. It does not only identify a single song but is able to identify multiple songs contained in a single file or video and generates a timeline listing which tracks it contains at which time.

Our matching algorithm is based on the open source echoprint-codegen fingerprinting method, which we have built our own stack around:

- Replaced Solr/Tokyo Tyrant with Elasticsearch

- Reimplemented matching-logic

- Crawlers search multiple sources for audio files to be indexed (mp3s arent stored long term, only fingerprinted then deleted)

- Indexing about 1 new track per second

- Found method to verify unrealiable ID3 tags (in progress, current database also includes unferified)

- mogilefs as primary data store for fingerprints

- perl everything

We also provide a free music identification API.

Any feedback would be much appreciated!

Until you posted this clarification, my first thought was - What makes it different from Shazam?

Thanks for clearing that up, good luck with your site!

Does it include music from oft-used music sources in YouTube videos such as AudioMicro and Incompetech[1]? I'd guess it's not really possible on the AudioMicro front as they're paid-for music that'd cost you a fortune to index but may be worth adding the latter

I've worked on the echoprint-codegen algorithm for my current project ( trak.rocks ) and I'm curious about how you reimplemented the matching logic ?

Do you plan to document/opensource you work ?

Where do you get the MP3s from in the first place, and how long did it take to index 7 million?

It'd be good to have an option to provide an email address which results could be sent to once it has them, rather than keep checking an open tab.

Great Job ! Could you describe the usecases ? Is it for mixtapes uploaded on youtube by DJs, or Over-The-Air recognition in music festival videos ? Because Music ( single tracks ) uploaded on youtube is usually already identified so it could be found.

Mix tapes is an ideal use case.

One of the most common comments on YT videos I see are people asking for the name of the song used in a video.
