Show HN: Shazam-like acoustic fingerprinting of continuous audio streams

Cool concept. Do you silence/skip the sound when you don't recognize a song? Nice idea for Spotify for free without ads - piping the sound into a virtual device that gets silenced when ads play.

Edit: I don't want to support the notion that we should avoid 10$/month for such a great service, I was just curious about the technical implementation.

There's speech and original musical content, like bootlegs, mixes, that cannot be detected with fingerprinting.

For a free Spotify without ads, have a look at http://www.stationripper.com/ (it's old software)

Edit: Station Ripper had caused a law/politics debate in 2005 in France about the right to do private copies of legal media http://www.assemblee-nationale.fr/12/amendements/1206/120600...

For a free Spotify without ads, open this link in Chrome: http://play.spotify.com

Do you need an adblock to not have ads on play.spotify.com? or is it adfree by default?

You need an adblocker.

What I meant was that there were no audio ads between the songs.
