#REDIRECT [[Fingerprinting]]
Audio fingerprints are identifiers for audio files based on the contained audio data.

MusicBrainz originally used Relatable's [[TRM]] exclusively as their only audio fingerprint technology, but due to various scalability and performance issues, and the fact that the server is closed-source and thus, not fixable, an alternative was required. [[MusicIP]]s [[PUID]] technology was chosen in March of 2006 as an efficient alternative.

[[PUID]]s were first integrated into [[Picard]] 0.7, and have seen continuous support in the MusicBrainz [[Server]].

Also see: [[How PUIDs Work]] and [[Future Proof Fingerprint]].

==Known Audio Fingerprinting Systems==

===Open source systems:===

* The fingerprint in Kurt Rosenfeld's [http://www.w140.com/audio/ FDMF].
* Freetantrum songprint <br/>There is a project called [http://sourceforge.net/projects/freetantrum freetantrum] on Sourceforge. It seems to be a dead project (its home page was replaced with an advert for unrelated things in 2001), but it may be worth investigating and resurrecting the code they produced.
* MusicURI, a project trying to combine audio fingerprinting with text based search. More info on project [http://semedia.deit.univpm.it/musicuri/ homepage]. The GPL source code is available at [http://sourceforge.net/projects/mpeg7audiodb SourceForge].
* A possible [[Future Proof Fingerprint|FutureProofFingerPrint]] algorithm that we could code has been Proposed by Geoff Schmidt, formally of Tuneprint.
* [http://jhears.org/ jHears] is an acoustic fingerprinting framework based on [[Future Proof Fingerprint|FutureProofFingerPrint]] design by Geoff Schmidt. jHears is developed by Juha Heljoranta.
* [http://acoustid.org/ Acoustid] is an open source project that aims to create a free database of audio fingerprints with mapping to the MusicBrainz metadata database and provide a web service for audio file identification using this database. Developed by [[User:LukasLalinsky|Lukáš Lalinský]]
* [defunct] [http://code.google.com/p/libfooid/ libFooID], an audio fingerprinting library used by, and developed for [http://www.foosic.org/ foosic].

===Commercial systems:===

* Relatable's [[TRM]] <br/> The system [[MusicBrainz]] originally used. The use of TRM has since been removed from MusicBrainz.
* [[MusicIP]]'s [[PUID]] (formerly [[MusicMagic]]/Predixis)<br/>The [[PUID]] technology has been integrated into the [[MusicBrainz]] since March 2006 and into Picard since version 0.7.0 released in July 2007. See their [http://www.freshpatents.com/Audio-fingerprinting-system-and-method-dt20050324ptan20050065976.php patent application] for details on the technology.
* AudibleMagic <br/>[http://www.econtentmag.com/Articles/ArticleReader.aspx?ArticleID=4473&IssueID=128 This article] compares business models for Philips & Audible Magic
* Philips (also licensed by SNOCAP) <br/>[http://ismir2002.ismir.net/proceedings/02-FP04-2.pdf http://ismir2002.ismir.net/proceedings/02-FP04-2.pdf] [http://ict.ewi.tudelft.nl/pub/doets/paper027.pdf http://ict.ewi.tudelft.nl/pub/doets/paper027.pdf] [http://wwwiti.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/iti_amsl/lehre/03_SoSem/mmsec_v/scripte/vorles-mm-03-6.3.pdf This presentation] (in PDF) has a few slides on the Philips system as well:

* AudioID: <br/>[http://www.idmt.fraunhofer.de/eng/research_topics/audioid.htm On the Fraunhofer IDMT site], [http://www.m2any.com/ site of the AudioID company]
* [http://www.shazam.com/music/portal/sp/s/media-type/html/user/anon/page/default/template/pages/p/company_profile.html Shazam] have their own proprietary music fingerprinting system, currently offered directly to users over the telephone.
* And possibly most ridiculously of all: [http://www.songtapper.com/s/tappingmain.bin The Song Tapper]
