If a song doesn’t have any embedded identifying information (tags), it will use the MusicIP service (associated with MusicBrainz) and determine an acoustic signature for the song. Once it determines that acoustic signature, it checks to see if the signature matches one of the 7 MILLION tracks (as of Dec2008) that have signatures. If there is a match, Mp3-Boss peforms the full lookup and retrieves artist/album/track information. Finally a way to identify songs that don’t have any identifiers!
