The Magic of Music Matching
Roy van Rijn at GOTO Oslo 2020
Arthur C. Clarke once said: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic"
The first time I used Shazam (the music matching app) it felt just like that: pure magic. The app shortly listens with the microphone and tells you which song is playing. As a programmer I generally have a pretty good understanding about what happens behind the scenes, in this case however I was absolutely gobsmacked.
After a weekend of studying, reading scientific papers and experimenting and coding: I had a working Shazam clone written in Java. During this talk I'll reveal what I've learned and what algorithms ...
