lastmatch.py is a part of pylastfp, a python module that allows you to:

  • fingerprint your mp3s and hence find other rips of the same music
  • or find out the correct name and title for given mp3.

The latter is achieved by the lastmatch.py script searching the lastfm database over the net for matching audio fingerprints, and return the metadata for those files. Metadata is limited to title and artist.


This is a Python interface to Last.fm's acoustic fingerprinting library (called fplib) and its related API services. It performs fingerprint extraction, fingerprint ID lookup, and track metadata lookup. It also comes with some helpers for decoding audio files.
