Soundflavor to use MusicIP's fingerprinting technlogy
According to this press release SoundFlavor has licensed MusicDNS - MusicIP's
audio fingerprinting technology. MusicDNS uses an audio
fingerprint to unambiguously assign a song id to an audio track,
eliminating the problems that result from missing, incomplete or wrong
ID3 tags. I've been hoping for quite a while that a single Song ID
system will emerge as dominant so that it will be easy for the various
members of the music ecosystem to work together. It looks like MusicDNS
is starting to gain some traction - their association with MusicBrainz
(the open source for music metadata) really helps. Soon
MusicDNS will hit the tipping point and become the de facto Song ID standard
