Not quite. Fingerprinting is a term used by music identification services like SoundHound or Shazam. These platforms are used primarily for musicidentification, not music discovery. That’s an interesting problem, and although Helios can do that too, this was not the primary problem the studio was concerned with.
What industry asked for was a method to find similar music based on music itself. That is, not using statistical tricks like trying to correlate user generated song ratings with predictions for a given user, but actual sub-symbolic analysis of the song’s objective traits.
