audiophile

A program that can learn and recognize audio files by fingerprinting them. If one of these sounds are playing nearby, it can recognize it after listening to it for 15-30s even if there is some noise in the background.

Audiophile looks for at the frequencies and time gaps between notes to match. If the original audio file is manipulated in some way (changed pitch or tempo) or is a different recording of the same song (like a live version), it may not not match most of the time! This can be overcome by making it learn all the popular versions of a song.
