A phone captures audio and runs aFast Fourier Transform (FFT)on short windows. It builds aspectrogramand extractspeaks. Nearby peak pairs form compacthashes(two frequencies + time delta). Aninverted indexmaps those hashes to songs, and timing validates matches. Most services run lookups onserversaga.. read more
