Chromaprint

Port of Chromaprint C/C++ library to Ruby.

A client-side library that implements a custom algorithm for extracting fingerprints from any audio source.

Dependencies

• Chromaprint

Debian / Ubuntu

apt-get install libchromaprint-dev

Mac

# At the time of this writing, chromaprint is unavailable in MacPorts or Fink:
brew install chromaprint

Usage

# Create context for rate=44100 and channel=1.
context1 = Chromaprint::Context.new(44100, 1)

# Get audio data. Data should be in raw audio format with 16-bit signed samples.
# The library doesn't care about decoding formats like mp3 or ogg, you should
# do it yourself.
data1 = File.binread('/1.wav')

# Create context for rate=22050 and channel=2 and get fingerprint
context2     = Chromaprint::Context.new(22050, 1)
fingerprint1 = context1.get_fingerprint(data1)

# Get fingerprint of another audio
context2     = Chromaprint::Context.new(44100, 2)
fingerprint2 = context2.get_fingerprint(File.binread('/2.wav')

# Compressed fingerprint, returned by chromaprint_get_fingerprint() C function.
fingerprint1.compressed  # => "AQAALOkUKdlChE92NNeFn8EjF9..."

# Raw fingerprint, returned by chromaprint_get_raw_fingerprint() C function.
fingerprint1.raw  # => [294890785, 328373552, 315802880, 303481088, ...]

# Compare 2 fingerprints, result is 0..1 range, where 1 is 100% similarity.
fingerprint1.compare(fingerprint2)  # => 0.93231
