An Intelligent Technology for Identifying Audio Recordings
Musiden is a patented audio-recognition system, based on an algorithm. The Software/Plugin enables song identification by fingerprint analysis.
The Musiden Technology can be used for purposes such as providing information about music, facilitating music usage reporting, recording and acquiringmusic online.
The Concept
Using the Musiden audio recognition system means that audio stream are run through the Musiden Algorithm, so that fingerprints are taken in interesting spots in the audio. This Process results in a fingerprint database.
By linking the information in the fingerprint database with a database containing metadata such as song title and artist, we achive a comprehensive database.The comprehensive database combined with the Musiden audio recognition system enables us to continuously fingerprint and identfy audio recordings in radio broadcasts, iPods, CDs, PCs, etc.
The Musiden audio recognition system has been developed during the last 7 years. The brand name and technology have been protected in a number of countries.
Advantages
The main advantages of the Musiden technology are:
- No watermarking or altering of music files
- Fingerprint cannot ne erased
- Compact size of fingerprint
- Simple to run as Plugin to standart music player software
- Distinguishes between different recordings of the same song
- Works in any part of the song
- Tolerant to manipulations such as compression and analog transmission
Applications
Musiden is adaptable for various uses and players, for example:
- Musiden can provide automated information about music for listeners
- Musiden can be used for automatically generating music usage reports for radio stations, TV channels, right owners, collecting societies, etc.
- Musiden con offer an convenient and unique way of listening to, discovering, recording and acquiring music in various channels
- Musiden can provide an intelligent solution for licensing online
The Patent
The patent has been granted in USA, EU and Switzerland with a priority date from the year 2000.
The Musiden Story
Originally the inventor of Musiden, Christoph Dworzak, set out to compress audio in a way that was superior to mp3. Eventually this led him to come up with the idea of an audio recognition system. Since he was one of the Senior Partners of the innovation company Creaholic AG, it was natural that the system was evaluated and explored in a wider context. Later the Zurich based company GPI AG joined to market the technology.
The Musiden Contact
Musiden is looking for partners/investors to take this technology to the next level.
