Fast, accurate and reliable music identification is the foundation for any digital music solution. The second generation of Gracenote MusicIDSM introduces revolutionary audio waveform recognition technology, providing unprecedented success rates by extending Gracenote's legendary music recognition to the song level.
The Broadest Coverage
The performance of any recognition technology is measured by the success rate: the percentage of correctly identified requests. While many waveform recognition providers claim impressive accuracy, only Gracenote MusicIDSM is backed by the Gracenote CDDB® database -- the largest International database of music information available. The result? MusicIDSM has the broadest coverage of any recognition system and provides the highest success rate for music listeners across the globe.
The Highest Success Rate
Text-based music recognition is used in tandem with waveform analysis to provide a second-level of identification and leverages the 22 million tracks in the CDDB® database. By combining text-based and waveform identification technologies, Gracenote enables applications that require a higher degree of certainty, such as rights payment systems for legal peer-to-peer networks.
