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,…

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.

Good idea we'll keep it in mind. Bookmarking the ident page and coming back later to check on results will work too

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.

Music used in compilations, ads, intros etc are typical usecases. Mixtapes & livesets of course are also great. But when pitch/bpms have been altered more than 1-2% we currently get a lot of false positives. We are still working on finding a solution to this.

I was thinking about this too but read before that the echonest fingerprinting doesn't handle pitch changes like Shazam.

Would be interested to know if you figured a way around that!

For anyone often wondering about music in songs I will recommend Shazaams OSX app. It sits in the menu bar and listens to music and if it recognises something it will send a notification and add it to a list [0].

Watching youtube video, movies or just having someone else play something and it usually finds it without problems.

It's a different use case than OPs app though, which is more on demand I guess.

I love this. Thank you.

On a slight tangent: I'd love a client that could identify my MP3 collection, and rename it and retag it (under some kind of supervision). Ideally it'd do the dentification in a batchmode when it got Internet connectivity (but this is perhaps an unreasonable requirement). And to make it perfect it would let me listen to and delete tracks.

I have a huge unweildy collection of MP3s and I can't bring myself to just delete gigabytes of music.

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

Crawling the internet for mp3s. It took us a couple of months to get to 7m.

Does it still have to listen through a mic or can it detect songs from internal audio now? I don't have any speakers and just use headphones.

have a look at beets " rel="nofollow">https://github.com/sampsyo/beets>, for the identification part it get its metadata from MusicBrainz/Discogs/filenames

I don't really know. It's hard to test since I have only headphones with mics.
