About:
Chromaprint is the core audio fingerprinting technology behind the AcoustID project. It analyzes audio data to create a unique acoustic fingerprint that can be used to identify the recording. This allows for robust audio identification even if the file's metadata is missing or incorrect.
Key Features:
  • Creates robust acoustic fingerprints from audio data
  • Fast and efficient algorithm implementation
  • Supports a wide range of audio formats via FFmpeg
  • Provides a C++ library and command-line tool
Use Cases:
  • Identifying unknown audio tracks by their acoustic properties
  • Automatically tagging music libraries with accurate metadata
  • Deduplicating music collections by finding identical recordings
Alternatives:
  • libpuzzle – Designed for finding similar images rather than audio fingerprints
  • MusicBrainz Picard – A full-featured tagging application that uses Chromaprint as a backend
