Youtube's Audio Content Fingerprinting...

While this is predominantly a more spiritual blog, it also deals a great deal with technology. As such, it's my pleasure to give you all a link to an experiment conducted by a good friend of mine, Scott Smitelli:

Fun with Youtube's Audio Content ID System

Scott explains what Youtube's Audio Content ID System is and conducts a battery of experiments to try see what limitations that system has**. He does a great job with his tests and describes things for the layman while also giving all of the settings he used and extensively describing his procedure. You'll even find a neat little table of his results and a concise "Conclusions" section toward the end.

If you ever find yourself wondering why something you uploaded is muted, it'll pay to know why!

**Please read the disclaimer at the bottom of his page. I, too, am not responsible for what you do with this information. There's something to be said about knowledge for knowledge's sake.

Enjoy!
