+Vamp plugin for MusicIP fingerprinting and audio lookup using libofa
+====================================================================
+
+This Vamp audio analysis plugin uses the OFA audio fingerprinting
+library from MusicIP (http://www.musicip.com/) to calculate a
+fingerprint from its audio input, and attempt to identify it as a
+known track in the MusicDNS database.
+
+It has two outputs: the audio fingerprint produced by libofa (returned
+as the label of a single output feature at time zero), and the PUID of
+the audio recording as retrieved from the MusicIP MusicDNS servers.
+
+If the PUID cannot be retrieved -- because the recording is unknown,
+the MusicDNS servers could not be contacted, the plugin's hardcoded
+MusicIP client ID was rejected or has exceeded its usage limit, or for
+any other reason -- then only the fingerprint is returned.
+
+To build this plugin you will need the OFA (audio fingerprinting),
+CURL (network retrieval) and Expat (XML parser) libraries, as well as
+the Vamp plugin SDK.  The plugin does no real work itself, it just
+glues these libraries together.  It has only been tested on Linux.  No
+binaries are provided; you'll have to build it yourself (or find them
+somewhere else).
+

+
+This plugin was cobbled together by Chris Cannam in 2007.
