reminds me of a project I did in max/msp to find copyrighted audio.
it worked by extracting and creating transient profiles, and flagging
anything with an 80+ percent match to a transient profile on record
fun stuff

There was a copyright protection tool developed by this guy in
California recently that uses pixel identification to troll through
internet sites like youtube and myspace and finds copyrighted
films--its identification is sophisticated enough that it can find
copyright films ripped from DVD (OBVIOUSLY) but it can also find cam
rips, even with a shaky camera, even with people walking in front of
the screen. I hear it does well regardless of compression and pixel
size/aspect ratio.
I don't know how related they are, but on the level of 1's and 0's it
almost seems like it could be reverse engineered. You could feed a
snippet into a search engine (discogs) which it uses to search its
library and find a match. If it were engineered well enough, maybe it
could handle input files that were pristine or recorded with a
handheld device like a microcassette or a cell phone. So if you had a
recording off the radio or some other waveform source, and there were
a database with this engine and a lot of waveform data to attempt to
match it up to, you could theoretically get anything ID'd, limited
only by how comprehensive the database is.
That's a Goliath-size order of a 'ware, but who knows. Just
daydreaming here... ;)

Anyway want I want to know is does anyone know of a site on the Discogs
tip but where you can search by the names of tracks - even
those that weren't a release in their own right but are just album
tracks? A lot to ask I know and maybe the huge amount of data
concerned (imagine searching on a title like "I Love You"!) means it
hasn't come along yet (though I guess it will, maybe Discogs II
is just around the corner). Be bl00dy useful though.
