Abstract
Methods, computing devices, and machine readable storage media for generating a fingerprint of a music sample. The music sample may be filtered into a plurality of frequency bands. Onsets in each of the frequency bands may be independently detected. Inter-onset intervals between pairs of onsets within the same frequency band may be determined. At least one code associated with each onset may be generated, each code comprising a frequency band identifier identifying a frequency band in which the associated onset occurred and one or more inter-onset intervals. Each code may be associated with a timestamp indicating when the associated onset occurred within the music sample. All generated codes and the associated timestamps may be combined to form the fingerprint.
