Roy always wants to know how things work, to the smallest detail. This session will focus on music recognition like Shazam and SoudHound. Those "magic" programs that identify songs by listening to it. After this session you'll not only know how to implement this in Java. You'll also have learned how a microphone works, how the human ear works, how to capture and analyze sound in Java SE, what the Fourier Transformation does, and of course how those music recognition algorithms do their magic. Also, after publishing this information on my blog I've received a couple of patent infringement claims from Shazam's patent holders. Can you really be sued after a weekend of programming and releasing the source code?
