EdS Local Song Detection #

Naming what plays on the turntable by fingerprints made here, in place of a recognizer behind someone else’s unpublished endpoint (EdS ADR-0021). A project and repository of its own, to come; named for now by what it does: local audio fingerprinting.

Project Vision & Scope #

A stub. Landmark fingerprinting, the kind of technique a phone’s song recognition uses, indexed from the owner’s own rips: a few seconds heard on the turntable are matched against the owner’s collection, naming the edition owned, and nothing leaves the house. Open-source engines exist (audfprint, Panako, Olaf, Dejavu).

In Scope

• An index of fingerprints made from the owner’s rips, and matching a clip against it
• Records held only on vinyl, added to the index as they are captured (EdS Vinyl Capture)

Out of Scope

• Knowing what the owner holds: EdS Music Inventory
• The turntable driver itself, which asks a recognizer: “a WAV in, a name out” (EdS ADR-0021)

Detection ⏳ #

Value objectives: Works anywhere

• ⏳ Choose a fingerprinting engine, and whether one match holds across masterings
• ⏳ A song fingerprint index from the owner’s rips, kept current as the library changes
• ⏳ A local song recognizer EdS’s turntable can ask in place of today’s outside service
• ⏳ Vinyl-only records added to the fingerprint index from their captures
