I'm wondering if they bound the fingerprint search to human audible frequencies. MP3 compression, as a lossy codec, works by discarding information in the input signal that corresponds to inaudible frequencies. I believe this could be mirrored in the implementation by running the frequency domain peak-pick algorithm only over specific bin ranges.

I don't recall if the paper specifies the frequency ranges used but my implementation was bound to audible frequencies. I was going to use hill climbing search to find optimal frequency ranges but came to the conclusion my implementation was too flawed regardless. If I looked at the two graphs side by side(compressed vs uncompressed) they looked nothing alike. For example, the peak might be in the same region but it would be shifted.
