Gracenote Mobile SDK MID-Stream returning incorrect results.

Question

I have been trying very hard for the last 2 days to find out the reason but to no avail. Gracenote Mobile SDK MID-Stream is returning in correct results. MID-File is working fine.

At first, I thought may be something wrong with my application. However, tried with the sample applications hosted by Gracenote (both Android and iOS) on the following URL developer.gracenote.com/mobile-client

Both, Android and iOS are returning incorrect results.

Also, tried with the MusixMatch App which is also using Gracenote itself and the results are incorrect.

This led to belief that there was some problem while ingesting the content itself. However, when i tried with MID-File Service, I am getting the correct results.

I have tested this with many tracks. Here is a list of few of them.

Lastly, SoundHound and Shazam are detecting them properly. Appreciate your help/ input in this regards.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for reporting this and for such a detailed report, we should have a fix live soon.

The discrepancy between MID-File and MID-Stream isn't too surprising as they actually query against different fingerprint databases - catered to the type of input audio (streaming audio from microphones vs decoded local audio).
