Abstract
Methods and systems for arranging and searching a database of media content recordings are provided. In one example, a method is provided that comprises receiving a sample of media content, and performing, by a computing device, a content recognition of the sample of media content using a data file including a concatenation of representations for each of a plurality of media content recordings. In other examples, another method is provided that comprises receiving media content recordings, determining a representation for each media content recording, concatenating by a computing device the representation for each media content recording as a data file, and storing by the computing device a mapping between an identifier for a respective media content recording and a global position in the data file that corresponds to the representation of the respective media content recording.
