As a global leader in rights management, we rely on our intelligent audio-recognition technology, known as BMI Recognition Services. Using the same technology that powers the Shazam app, downloaded by over 150 million people around the world, BMI Recognition Services enables the identification of music performances across multiple channels, providing us with detailed, granular airplay information. http://www.bmi.com/about/entry/bmi_recognition_services

Acoustic fingerprint

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_fingerprint An acoustic fingerprint is a condensed digital summary, deterministically generated from an audio signal , that can be used to identify an audio sample or quickly locate similar items in an audio database. [ 1 ] Practical uses of acoustic fingerprinting include identifying songs , melodies , tunes , or advertisements ; sound effect library management; and video file identification. Media identification using acoustic fingerprints can be used to monitor the use of specific musical works and performances on radio broadcast , records , CDs and peer-to-peer networks.
