Software to analyze music

Is there any software that analise music and compare it with a database to give some information about it? For example: witch song is (with an error), if it has similar parts with another song, and so on.

Such software should exist, I saw at least 2 stories in the news about this: one was an anti-piracy solution in the Napster era, and one let you buy a song, that you didn't know the name, with the mobile phone after sending a part of a song you recorded with the phone from the radio or whatever.

Great tool, I've searched the forums for "foosic" and discovered many useful servicies related with taging and finding new music.

...but I was more intrested in a software that would musicaly analize a song and recognize some parts as beeing part of other songs. For two main reasons:

1. I want to discover musical roots and inspiration.

2. I want to discover copyright infringement situations. In USA this is not an issue, since there will always be somewone to remember that song, but in my country a lot of songs are copyed from international artists with nowone to report it.

Have fun: http://www.muzicabuna.ro/copiate.php

I dont think musicbrainz will quite do what he is looking for. In fact, they are using the musicip.com PUID (audio fingerprint), but this has nothing to do with the musics roots/inspiration. MusicIP goes one step further and creates an acoustic fingerprint that is used to find other related songs/artists. They have a pretty good mixing engine for making mixes.

Searching for this software I've discovered allot of god tools for taging my vast collection: auto-tag with foosic as a database, picard with musibrainz, and at last the godfather with it's scripts to use freeDB, CDDB, amazon.com, allmusic.com as a database. They are all great software but their databases are less than perfect, and I prefer allmusic.com as a database for it's clean content, but the script that TGF uses to grab the data from the site has some problems. Today I've used for first time in years Windows Media Player to "update" my music from AMG. Using LASSO it did the job well, but the software is still crap, even with a great database.

So can you please give me some programs (as many as you know) that use LASSO? Even if they cost money.

Thank you.
