AcoustID is a webservice for the identification of music recordings based on the Chromaprint acoustic fingerprint algorithm. It can identify entire songs but not short snippets. By 2017, the free service had 34 million "fingerprints" in-store and every day acquired between 15 and 20 thousand new entries and answered around five million search queries. AcoustID is integrated into the audio file metadata editors Picard, Jaikoz and Puddletag, for example. In October 2009 MusicIP was acquired by AmpliFIND. Some time after the acquisition, the MusicDNS service began having intermittent problems. Since the future of the free identification service was uncertain, a replacement for it was sought. The Chromaprint acoustic fingerprinting algorithm, the basis for AcoustID identification service, was started in February 2010 by a long-time MusicBrainz contributor Lukáš Lalinský. The oldest entry in the DB is from 8 Oct 2010. More information...
