There was an open source audio fingerprinting system called echoprint, which actually implemented the shazam algorithm in a way that made it hard to claim it's the same approach as shazam, but in reality it was almost the same. The hardest part about these kind of services is designing the fingerprints so that you can search them effectively. The audio part is interesting and fun, but actually less critical.

what would you say is the difference between fingerprint and using something like OpenAI's whisper approach (visual spectrogram ML) for finding the music

tangent: I'm also thinking about some fast way to search text algo maybe related to Spotify damn that was a long time ago read that article
