false 100% similarity

@admin: The last posts would better fit to wishlist.

c) Normalizing to the highest peak of a sample/excerpt would not be an good idea. The standard approach for comparison in the frequency domain is to normalize to the overall average (or in other words: the component at frequency bin 0).

I guess my point wasn't clear in this respect.  I basically meant that the amplitudes of the two samples should be made to match (in the compare procedure) before frequency analysis to insure the best accuracy.

Thanks for your comments, we think about some modifications in algorithms, but this is not simple as seems.

I understand the performance limitation, but I would prefer to be able to set the sample length.
Better wait than erase the wrong track.

How about uniquely identifying a song based on discogs release, amplifind id, musicbrainz unique id or such?

Ought to save you lots of scanning.

The clue point of similarity is that it works just by comparing two tracks acoustically, not by comparison with a database entry. Musicbrainz IDs are no longer updated, they were replaced by Picard IDs (PUID). Both cover only part of released material. If you are not in mainstream you may get matches for only a a minor fraction of your candidates (I get typically less than 10%). Additionally, the problem of different instances of the same recording (with differing quality) isn't adressed at all.

Main idea of Similarity to don't depend on any Online databases or something. Similarity uses own mechanism of "acoustic fingerprint". Many files don't contain any information ID, they need to calculate this is ID via mathematic. It is time consuming calculation that Similarity can do itself.

So how many of the suggestion are implemented in latest version? Specially inquiring about taking samples at different locations rather then first minute of song. If it is not implemented then is on timeline?

We working on cofigurable comparing algorithm, bu it will be after introducing image comparing.
