Identification & Monetization
How to Get Your Music Recognized by ACRCloud
Audio fingerprinting and content recognition service.
Visit ACRCloud →ACRCloud is a leading audio-recognition and fingerprinting service used by broadcasters, music services, and platforms to identify recordings in audio streams. Inclusion in ACRCloud's reference database is what makes recordings detectable in third-party royalty audits and content-identification systems.
Notes delivers recordings and metadata to ACRCloud so they are present in its reference database and correctly identified across the platforms that license ACRCloud's recognition tech.
