Definition of AcoustID
AcoustID is a webservice for the identification of music recordings based on the Chromaprint acoustic fingerprint algorithm. It can identify entire songs but not short snippets.
By 2017, the free service had 34 million "fingerprints" in-store and every day acquired between 15 and 20 thousand new entries and answered around five million search queries.
AcoustID is integrated into the audio file metadata editors Picard, Jaikoz and Puddletag, for example.
