Most TyMusicDB users use it to monitor a radio or tv channel in order to find out when and how often specific songs or commercials are broadcasted.

That will depend on what format an original recording is given. If you have an audio-file such as mp3 or wav, it can be directly added to the database (see file-menu or drag&drop the audio file). Mp3 files need to be 44Khz/16bit. Wave files can be 11KHz/22KHz/44KHz 16 bit. You can also directly add songs by recording them with a microphone.

To use this program, you need to

1. Extract or record fingerprints from audio data.
2. Load those fingerprints (see file-menu). The titles that appear on the Songlist are songs that are loaded in memory. Only those songs will be recognized.
3. Choose audio-in device (Options/Select sound device) and set parameters.
4. Activate channel.
5. Play music that is to be recognized.

The signal-bar will show you if there is any audio data coming from the currently selected audio device.

Primera-s Curiosity -v1.01- -studionaze- -

In an era where digital narratives often prioritize spectacle over substance, the indie project Primera's Curiosity -v1.01- -StudioNAZE- emerges as a compelling case study in how versioned art (v1.01) and studio ethos (-StudioNAZE-) can transform a simple concept into a meditation on human drive. At its core, this work asks a deceptively simple question: What happens when the first explorer—the "Primera"—chooses wonder over fear? The Protagonist as a Philosophical Tool Primera is not merely a character; she is an archetype. Her name, Spanish for "first" or "primary," positions her as the origin point of action. Unlike traditional heroes who are reactionary (avenging a wrong or responding to a threat), Primera’s defining trait is proactive inquiry. The subtitle "Curiosity" is not a passive state but an active verb. In v1.01, we see the raw, unpolished edges of this trait—she stumbles, asks naive questions, and enters spaces that more experienced adventurers would avoid.

StudioNAZE leverages this vulnerability. By labeling the build as "v1.01" (implying an early, iterative release), the developers mirror Primera’s own journey: both are unfinished, learning, and prone to glitches. This meta-narrative invites the player to treat errors not as bugs, but as features of a nascent consciousness exploring its boundaries. The "-StudioNAZE-" tag is critical. "NAZE" (風), Japanese for "wind" or "cause," suggests an invisible, guiding force that is both gentle and unpredictable. StudioNAZE appears to reject hyper-realistic, AAA gloss in favor of a handcrafted, slightly asymmetrical aesthetic. Environments in Primera's Curiosity reportedly shift in subtle ways upon revisiting them—a door that was locked now hangs ajar, a path that led to a cliff now reveals a bridge. Primera-s Curiosity -v1.01- -StudioNAZE-

This design philosophy teaches a helpful lesson about creativity: If the world were static, there would be no reason to look twice. By building a game that changes in small, uncanny ways, StudioNAZE forces the player to adopt Primera’s mindset—constantly re-evaluating, never assuming mastery. Narrative Structure: The Spiral, Not the Line Most adventure games follow a linear arc: problem, escalation, resolution. Primera's Curiosity -v1.01- reportedly uses a spiral structure. Primera returns to the same three biomes (a rusted observatory, a dried-up riverbed, a library of half-burned books) but each return adds a layer of context. A curious glance at a broken telescope in Act 1 becomes the key to navigating a star-map in Act 3. In an era where digital narratives often prioritize

This design reinforces the essay’s central thesis: v1.01 ends not with a triumph, but with Primera standing at a new, previously invisible door—holding a tool she doesn’t yet understand. The version number implies that both she and the player will need to update. A Helpful Takeaway for Players and Creators For players, Primera's Curiosity offers a gentle rebuke to completionist culture. You cannot 100% this game in v1.01 because the percentage itself is a moving target. The helpful approach is to embrace partial knowledge—to enjoy the sensation of not knowing. Her name, Spanish for "first" or "primary," positions

For creators, StudioNAZE demonstrates that a low version number is not a mark of shame but a declaration of intent. By releasing v1.01 (as opposed to a polished 1.0), they invite collaboration with the audience. Every crash, every awkward line of dialogue, every missing texture becomes a shared mystery to be curiously investigated rather than angrily reported. Primera's Curiosity -v1.01- -StudioNAZE- is more than a game; it is a playable manifesto. It argues that the beginning of a journey—the "primera" step—holds more truth than any destination. And by wearing its imperfections openly, StudioNAZE reminds us that curiosity is not the privilege of the expert, but the birthright of the beginner. In a world obsessed with final versions, this work celebrates the beautiful, messy potential of v1.01.

It shows how well the fingerprint of the sample matches the fingerprint of the original music in the database.

This will not significantly slow down the search. It does take up more RAM though which might affect your computer's performance.

That depends on how much RAM (Memory) your computer has. A computer with 2 GB of RAM can have up to 10.000 songs loaded in memory. The free version is restricted to 500 songs.

The fingerprints are stored as separate files in your My Fingerprints folder which is located in your My Documents.
