I hacked something in an hour once, and made a program that would recognize the song that was playing and played the video clip of that song from YouTube in sync:

The phone in that video is just playing a song, it doesn't have any connection to the computer at all.

Nice. How did you recognize the song? Cross correlation or fingerprinting? How big was your song database?

Unfortunately I didn't write my own code for that, I just used a pre-existing fingerprinting API.

Not to discredit, but that's a lot less significant.

Yes, hence the "hacked together in an hour" part.

you have public repo for this? awesome stuff.

It was a really dirty 40 lines of code, so I don't have it publicly anywhere, but I can upload it somewhere when I get home if you want.

Me want!! Please do upload it!

Thanks. For the record, the fingerprint service used in this script is ACRCloud https://www.acrcloud.com

Indeed, and you need this repo:
