MixSCAN

It works by recognizing proprietary information that accurately tracks and reports songs within DJ mixes for royalty distribution. MixSCAN technology is the first and only legal way to stream DJ mixes. It is a RESTful job-based API that allows users to fingerprint individual files that may contain more than one song or artist over time. Each time a user makes a request to MixSCAN they will be returned with a small amount of metadata for the mix before the scan has actually taken place.
