The Last.fm service will be almost perfect if audio recognition with Gracenote appears in its scrobbler for collecting music statistics.
Now the scrobbler uses only information from the tags of audio recordings, which somewhat limits the tracking of user tastes. Using the same recognition technology will scrape all the audio at all, which means:
full compatibility with all music players, since plug-ins will simply not be needed;
scrobbling audio on web pages (prostopleer, Yandex.Music, foreign analogues).
The Gracenote service, which deals with music recognition in short passages (on mobile devices, desktop applications and even car stereos), will significantly expand its base and simplify life for itself, keeping it up-to-date. And at the same time will give a new improved service to all its users. ')
Correct, if I am mistaken. Thanks for attention.
