Music streaming services, phone manufacturers and music apps use ACRCloud to let users identify songs playing around them, find songs by humming, recognize songs in local media files and clean up catalog metadata on their servers. Deezer SongCatcher and HUAWEI Music are examples of features built with ACRCloud. ### Can ACRCloud recognize music files stored on a user's device? Yes. ACRCloud can scan local media files on a device to recognize the songs, match album covers and lyrics, or replace them with high-quality audio files, which improves the experience in music player apps. HUAWEI Music, for example, lets users search for audio files stored on the device. ### Can ACRCloud clean up metadata in a large music catalog? Yes. With ACRCloud's server-side SDK, a music service can scan its entire catalog on its own servers and clean up the metadata, giving a professional, consistent library with standardized metadata. The approach is built to scale, so the entire library can be cleaned up on your own infrastructure rather than track by track. ### Which SDKs can music apps use to integrate ACRCloud? Music apps integrate ACRCloud on phones with the mobile SDKs for iOS, Android and Unity, while server-side features such as catalog scanning use the backend SDKs for Python, PHP, Go, Java, C/C++ and C#. Both are documented on docs.acrcloud.com, together with the APIs. ### Can users save a recognized song straight to their library? Yes. With ACRCloud's recognition in a music service, users can identify a song and keep listening without leaving the app. Deezer SongCatcher, for example, tells users the song and artist and gives them the option to add it straight to their tracks library. ## Explore More Capabilities ### [Music Recognition](https://www.acrcloud.com/music-recognition/) The industry standard for identification of recorded music catalog. ### [Humming Recognition](https://www.acrcloud.com/humming-recognition/) Find songs by humming, singing or whistling into your mobile device. ### [AI Music Detector](https://www.acrcloud.com/ai-music-detector/) Identify tracks from Suno, Udio and more with high precision. ### [Copyright Compliance](https://www.acrcloud.com/copyright-compliance-data-deduplication/) Identify copyrighted content and manage licenses with powerful fingerprints. ## Ready to build with ACRCloud?
