- aidenn0 3y agoTuneprint was published in 2004, no? Shazam filed their patents in 2000 and launched in 2002.
- loxias 3y agoNo no no, Tuneprint was well before that. By 2004 we were LONG gone. Shazam didn't show up until I think years later. And I might be confusing them with another group but I thought, at the time, they were doing some goofy hash of the highest energy Fourier components -- a source of entertainment in our office. ;-) I think Geoff had the vision and algorithm from the 90s as part of an ISEF project (!?). We had funding in 2001, when we got the real world go-to-your-car-and-get-a-cd and then we identify it ... using the audio signal alone.... demo working. With a corpus of hundreds of thousands of songs. Positive match in less than 2 seconds. Sadly, in 2001 there's no market for such whizbang amazing tech.
