Re: [Announce] Eyrie Music Detection
 

If songs are being recognised on the N9 (but not as reliably as on the N950) perhaps the microphone is simply less sensitive in its default state. I'll try putting together a new version when I have some time at the weekend that boosts the input volume and see if that improves matters for anyone.

As to the number of songs available for identification that's a known issue with the EchoPrint database, although EchoNest are planning on expanding this in the near future.

Added some other tests to my post, looks like it favors 3 Doors Down :P

Anyway, there was a urgent need for some kind of song recognition app, thanks for that :) If only Shazam released their API.. That'd be beyond awesome.

Thanks for testing a range of songs, it's good to see that at least some are working.

It's just a shame that the EchoPrint database is so tiny at the moment, if they'd only organise a way for people to submit fingerprints I'd see about writing some media player plugins to automatically give them data from user's personal collections, which would at least allow users to start contributing data easily.

That's on my todo list :). I want to sort out some packaging issues first though (it depends on an extra library that need building into the .deb).

I think you could run a search [1] with your API key to see if it's the app or the echonest database that doesn't perform well :) If the search returns no results for those tested & failed queries, than all we have to do is wait, if not, then there's still room for improvement.

Unfortunately not, the EchoNest database itself is quite extensive, it's just that there isn't EchoPrint data for most of the songs in it yet. They have around 30 million fingerprints for the ENMFP algorithm, but that's only designed to work with file based fingerprinting not over-the-air microphone stuff. For the EchoPrint algorithm (which does support over-the-air fingerprinting) they only have around 200,000 fingerprints so far.

I noticed that there's a human-readable list of echoprint database @ http://echoprint.me/data , I've also edited my post to color results from that list. :)

Re: [Announce] Eyrie Music Detection
 

Excellent, that makes life easier. I tested the items in your list that were in the EchoPrint database but failed on your N9 with my N950 and for me the following passed:

Metallica - Sad But True

But the other 3 failed for me also, so perhaps there's not such a large difference between the two devices. Now that I know of some songs that are on the borderline I'll have a bit of a play around and see if I can get better results for them by tweaking various parameters.

include it into package, i know it's dirty but if no other way ... =\
