It creates a time series of frequencies then checks a db for that same series. A problem that is easily parallelizable. Probably does some filtering first. It's a very useful and clever application, but not that technically challenging. The most amazing feat is they got access to the catalogs of the record labels.
I wish someone would do the same thing for commercials on TV. Auto detect the commercial and advance the DVR by its exact duration
- akhilcacharya 8y agoAren't most commercials sold in 30-60 second blocks?
- Timmah 8y agoYeah. So if you skipped 60 seconds on a 30 second commercial you'd cut into your program. Hence the identification requirement.
- dylan604 8y agoThat's why TIVO (or whichever DVR company) had the skip 30 seconds button. If it was a 60, you hit it twice. However, they also sell 15 second blocks. Now, it's just fast forward at ludicrous speeds.
