AudioTag
What it is
AudioTag identifies music from uploaded clips, full songs, video files, and links to YouTube or other video-sharing services. It returns track, artist, and album information and can separate multiple songs in one recording with the time intervals where each occurs. Supported formats include WAV, MP3, OGG, FLAC, FLV, AMR, and MP4. AudioTag uses proprietary, patented acoustic fingerprinting with a music-fingerprint database; it matches the same sound rather than tracks that are only melodically similar. The homepage reports 47,802,442 tracks, 11,628,927 albums, and 2,450,640 artists. The web service also has an API for automated recognition by third-party systems and software. The free service is for non-commercial use. A free API plan allows up to three hours of audio monthly with an account, and AudioTag says charges begin only after that allowance is exhausted and payment is initiated.
