TyMusicDB is capable of identifying a song based on only a very small fragment of it - there is no need for the entire song to be played. It will recognize a song at any point. Instead of storing the entire audio data of a song, only a small file containing its digital fingerprint is stored and used for recognition. Songs can be imported from mp3 or wav files, or can be directly recorded from the audio source. The recognition algorithm is designed to identify songs based on their acoustical properties and is thus very robust against noise and other distortion. If the input signal is sufficiently strong and has little distortion (e.g. FM tuner) a sample of only 1 second in length will suffice for a correct identification.The program will run comfortably as a background process since it has a very low CPU usage. This program is free for private use. If you plan to use this software for commercial use, please contact the author at about the professional version supporting multiple channels, scripting and database logging, as well as SDKs.

What can TyMusicDB be used for?
Most TyMusicDB users use it to monitor a radio or tv channel in order to find out when and how often specific songs or
commercials are broadcasted.
How do I add songs to the database?
That will depend on what format an original recording is given. If you have an audio-file such as mp3 or wav, it can be directly added to
the database (see file-menu or drag&drop the audio file). Mp3 files need to be 44Khz/16bit. Wave files can be 11KHz/22KHz/44KHz 16 bit.
You can also directly add songs by recording them with a microphone.

What exactly does the integrity bar show?
It shows how well the fingerprint of the sample matches the fingerprint of the original music in the database.
Does the program run slower if I add many songs to the database?
This will not significantly slow down the search. It does take up more RAM though which might affect your computer's
performance.
How many songs can be added to the database?
That depends on how much RAM (Memory) your computer has. A computer with 2 GB of RAM can have up to 10.000 songs
loaded in memory. The free version is restricted to 500 songs.
