Automatic music identification - as simple as youtube

Forget Shazam. Youtube can instantly identify most tango music tracks, orchestra, vocalist, everything, at least as long as you have full track, beginning to end.

Upload you own video with the selected soundtrack, and Youtube will do its job in a peculiarly unwelcoming way: as soon as it's processed, you'll see a warning in your upload manager, "Matched 3rd party content". Click on the warning and see who claims to own your track and how they call it.

How much effort would it take me to identify a lesser-known Biagi vals?
