Since MusicIP is still my favorite local Music-matching algorithm versus
Musly and Essentia (LastMix works very well but uses the cloud and
Artist / Song Info instead of real similarity) I queried the internet
about the fate of the company:
The company dissolved, the owner created a new one "Amplifind", which
was acquired by Sony to integrate the service into their Gracenote
service, later acquired by Tribune Media (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AmpliFIND)
What was astonishing for me and quite some news for me: The
fingerprinting algorithm bases on an open source library, which is also
well documented, libofa.
The code can be retrieved at:
- https://code.google.com/archive/p/musicip-libofa/
- https://github.com/tanob/libofa
Also there are some links to the documentation in the Wikipedia article
I cited.
What is missing:
- An implementation of the scanning of music files using the libofa
library
- An implementation of the comparison of similarities of fingerpritns-
with today's hype of machine learning there are many similarity
algorithms available as open source. This may be the critical step of
a new plugin - how do you compare similarities of fingerprints...
I am not a programmer, however somebody may want to take up the
challenge to start with a plugin? In my opinion, the MusicIp approach is
still unbeaten for non-cloud based approaches...
