Song fingerprinting tools, using FooID Options

[musicmusic]

I found an old copy of libFooID and decided to try and put it to some use. How is another question..

Anyway I came up with a little component that allows you to calculate FooIDs and save them to the file, as well as compare the FooID of two files. Some downloads below:

FooID binary (put this in your foobar2000 folder)
foobar2000 component version 0.3 (experimental)
foobar2000 component version 0.2 (experimental)


libFooID source

Update: Garf has restored the Foosic homepage now

I am not sure how this is useful.. Maybe finding matches within a set of files would be more useful (?) If someone actually downloads this have fun : P

I doubt it, but would it be possible to compare fingerprints and find song with similar acoustic characters? Kind of like MusicIP's Mixer (earlier Music Magic Mixer), although I reckon they use another technique than fingerprint information for this.

The libFooID documentation contains information on how to do this (see copy of FooID documentation on archive.org). Note that this is intended to identify different encodings or maybe even performances of the same song, it is not designed to be able to - say - correlate two songs containing violins.
