It can process almost any audio format. You can ignore the messages you see, they are warnings from TagLib saying that it failed to parse some part of the MP3 file.

looks like i did not install the taglib in the right path. Installed in /usr. Now it worked fine.

Now i would like to understand how to use your tool. I have placed bunch of mp3 songs in my library, and when i run the fpcollect it gives me a message saying below (Can I only fp on mpeg songs? not on mp3 songs? or any other format?)

TagLib: MPEG::Header::parse() — First byte did not match MPEG synch.

Still having issues

————————————————–

Downloaded latest version of taglib from this site. And installed it. Still it gives the same issue

http://ktown.kde.org/~wheeler/taglib.html

./configure -> make -> make install

I do not see any errors while installing the taglib. Not sure how to correct it now.

Looks like I’ll be developing on the Linux box after all.

The biometric system is only for fun – maybe something cool can come out of it. In the end it will be used for a song ID system – very basic, but interesting.

Thanks for the hard work!

Anyway, I removed the Windows version because it was generating older version of fingerprints. It only contained a tool for generating fingerprints from audio files. If you are interested in submitting fingerprints to the Acoustid database, please see Acoustid Fingerprinter instead.

If you would just like to use the code on Windows from your application, then I’m afraid you will have to compile it yourself. At the moment it’s also pretty GCC-specific, so if you are planning to use MSVC, it probably won’t compile.

I was trying to download the windows version (from the link in the blog) and it was broken.

Do you have an updated windows version or a working link?

Great work, on this. I’m going to be using it to create a pseudo-voice biometric system!
