Molasses: DIY Shazaam
- Timja 4y agoVery confusing. My first question: What is a "module"? Is it something like a midi file?
- genpfault 4y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module_file https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module_file
- Timja 4y agoAha. It seems to be like a midi file that includes the instruments it uses as samples.
- sigio 4y agoIt's how much music was made in the 90s for games, in the demo-scene and for general music production.
- lysp 4y agoYep basically the tradable music format before MP3s took over.
- djmips 4y agoMIDI was designed is to interface between hardware synths and is a serial communication format. Modules are a digital song format intended to be played by a MOD player.
- sandreas 4y agoWhat about https://acoustid.org/ https://acoustid.org/? You can get a free API key and search for a chromaprint generated with e.g. ffmpeg...
- csdvrx 4y agoDoes it work with a random 10 second sample, or does it require the full song?
- sandreas 4y ago> Can the service identify short audio snippets? > No, it can't. The service has been designed for identifying full audio files. We would like to eventually support also this use case, but it's not a priority at the moment. Note that even when this will be implemented, it will be still intended for matching the original audio (e.g. for the purpose of tracklisting a long audio stream), not audio with background noise recorded on a phone. Ok, there you have a huge difference. Thank you for asking the right question.
- Scaevolus 4y agoYou would want to compute the chromaprints from the mod archive yourself, but acoustic would work quite well. Its fingerprints only consume about 15 bytes per second. Matching songs merely requires finding bit patterns with minimal hamming distance. Alignment requires a couple tricks, but nothing onerous. https://oxygene.sk/2011/01/how-does-chromaprint-work/ https://oxygene.sk/2011/01/how-does-chromaprint-work/
- kyriakos 4y agoIs there something similar for video?
- afro88 4y agoIt's not really DIY Shazaam. It's Shazaam for mods.
- djmips 4y agoMods should rename.
- imglorp 4y agoIf you're interested in commercial applications of this tech, Mediaguide placed radio receivers in major markets, sampled audio there, and fingerprint matched it, selling reports of what they found. Two buyers of such data would be music content holders as well as advertisers, both of which want to make sure every airplay was paid for or whatever.
