I've been meaning to write this post for a long time, but never really finished it. I hope it will help people understand how does the Chromaprint algorithm work, where do the individual ideas come from and what do the fingerprints really represent. It's not meant to be a detailed description, just the basics to get the general idea.
Chromaprint | AcoustID
Chromaprint is the core component of the AcoustID project. It's a client-side library that implements a custom algorithm for extracting fingerprints from any audio source. Overview of the fingerprint extraction process can be found in the blog post "How does Chromaprint work?".
