Chromaprint

Dancebook identifies recordings by their audio fingerprints. Its fingerprint decoder is a port of the fingerprint decompressor from Chromaprint (opens in a new tab), Copyright © 2010–2016 Lukáš Lalinský. Chromaprint's own source code is licensed under the MIT License; because Chromaprint includes parts of the FFmpeg library, Chromaprint as a whole is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 (opens in a new tab).

fpcalc

The fingerprints submitted to Dancebook are calculated with fpcalc, the command-line tool that comes with Chromaprint (version 1.5.1, built with FFmpeg (opens in a new tab) to read audio files), by the applications that send them, such as RapidTagger. fpcalc is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2.1 (opens in a new tab); the FFmpeg libraries it includes are licensed under the LGPL, version 2.1 or later. Source code: Chromaprint (opens in a new tab) and FFmpeg (opens in a new tab). Dancebook never receives the audio itself, only the fingerprint.

AcoustID and MusicBrainz

Dancebook looks up recordings with the AcoustID (opens in a new tab) web service and links them to MusicBrainz (opens in a new tab) recordings. MusicBrainz data belongs to the MetaBrainz Foundation and its contributors and is used under its own licenses.
