AudioTag

What AudioTag is

AudioTag identifies music from an uploaded fragment or full song and returns track, artist, and album information. It can also recognize audio from YouTube and other video-sharing links, and supports formats including WAV, MP3, OGG, FLAC, FLV, AMR, and MP4. Video files with audio are supported, and recordings containing multiple songs can be separated into tracks with their time intervals. The service uses proprietary, patented acoustic fingerprinting and a database of music fingerprints. Its homepage reports 47,802,442 tracks, 11,628,927 albums, and 2,450,640 artists. The matching method recognizes the same sound, not tracks that are merely melodically similar. AudioTag is available on the web and through an API that lets third-party systems automate recognition queries. The free service is for non-commercial use and costs nothing. Its free API plan also costs nothing, allows up to three hours of audio per month, and requires an account. AudioTag says API charges begin only after the free monthly allowance is exceeded and the user initiates payment.
