CLUSTER AUDIO-MUSIC-IDENTIFIES · 14 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2017-02-12
Music tagging and fingerprint tools
The cluster comprises desktop applications and developer libraries for music metadata editing, audio fingerprinting, track identification, and utilities like key detection and duplicate finders. Entries appear sporadically from April 2010 to June 2026, with no concentration in any period; each dated entry is isolated and gaps of years occur between them. All traction leaders have zero stars, so no product stands out in terms of adoption.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 14 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
