@pezzoDiPeco@fosstodon.org @switchingsocial@mastodon.at there is unlikely to be one. The fingerprinting technology exists -- see The Echo Nest's Echoprint, although it's unmaintained -- but what's missing is the database of fingerprints for every song ever, and it's hard to legally create such a thing since nobody who has access to a full song library will free the fingerprints for it. It might be possible to crowdsource, but there are problems with that. community.badvoltage.org/t/ope is a discussion I had a few years back.

community.badvoltage.orgOpen Shazam: doable?I wonder how hard it’d be to build a library for an open Shazam music recogniser? The hard part - fingerprinting - already exists courtesy of The Echo Nest’s echoprint. What’s then needed is a one click script which understands iTunes, rhythmbox, windows media player, etc, and which someone can download and run to fingerprint their whole library and upload the fingerprints. And then loads of people to run it. I would be sceptical, but I was sceptical about open street map too.
