<p>Similar post, but the conclustion was that while the technology exists, it is mainly used to confirm what a song is etc...but you could for sure look into the Shazam or Soundhound APIs to see if you can create a code/script that would do it for you</p>

<p>This may or may not work to some degree, there is obviously a high level of error while trying to make it match, the more of the song playing that is not mixed with anything else, the higher the likelyness of this working.</p>

Additionally Pluraleyes is a kind of expensive. Of course: Compared to a fine it's perhaps cheap. But there has to be a less expensive method, I think.
I have several seconds in the podcast without any voice on it, so I am quite sure, that if there is a matching tool out there it would have easy work...

<p>Hope, I got the right forum for my question.</p>

<p>I'm a Podcaster and publishing podcasts since 2005. In my first few episodes I used a Music Track as an opener which seems to have a copyright on it, so I got a mail from a lawyer. First of all: Yep, i didn't check the license in detail so I have to pay for this now. I appreciate the work of musicians and I never wanted to do piracy - the website I got the track from seemed to have free tracks and so I used them.</p>

<p>Anyway: I have to commit myself to never ever republish this copyrighted track again. But in The mass of episodes I have created it would be hard work to check of I used the track even after changing the opener to a (real) free track. Is there a possibility to scan my library automatically against a short part of the copyrighted track?</p>

<p>If this is the wrong section, please refer to the correct one.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance</p>

I' m using Windows7. But I can also use a Linux Distribution if it's really needed. But Windows is preferred.
