Song Matching Implementation Summary

🎯 Overview

This implementation adds intelligent song matching functionality to link uploaded music files to existing Rekordbox songs. The system automatically matches music files to songs based on various criteria and provides manual matching capabilities.

🏗️ Backend Implementation

New Service: SongMatchingService

File: packages/backend/src/services/songMatchingService.ts

Key Features:

• Multi-criteria matching: Filename, title, artist, album, duration
• Fuzzy matching: Uses Levenshtein distance for similar strings
• Confidence scoring: 0-1 scale with match type classification
• Auto-linking: Automatic linking with configurable thresholds
• Manual linking: API endpoints for manual song-file linking

Matching Algorithms:

1. Filename Matching (Highest Priority)

   • Exact filename match
   • Contains title match
   • Artist - Title pattern matching

2. Title Matching

   • Exact title match
   • Contains match
   • Fuzzy similarity matching

3. Artist Matching

   • Exact artist match
   • Contains match
   • Fuzzy similarity matching

4. Album Matching

   • Exact album match
   • Contains match

5. Duration Matching

   • Time-based matching with 2-second tolerance

• Added hasMusicFile flag and musicFile object

🔧 Configuration Options

Matching Thresholds

const options = {
  minConfidence: 0.7,        // Minimum confidence for auto-linking
  enableFuzzyMatching: true, // Enable fuzzy string matching
  enablePartialMatching: false, // Disable partial matching for auto-linking
  maxResults: 5              // Maximum suggestions per file
};

Confidence Levels

• 0.9+: Exact match (green)
• 0.7-0.9: High confidence fuzzy match (blue)
• 0.5-0.7: Partial match (yellow)
• <0.5: Low confidence (red)

🚀 Usage Workflow

1. Upload Rekordbox XML

• Import your Rekordbox library XML
• Songs are stored in the database

2. Upload Music Files

• Upload music files to S3 storage
• Metadata is automatically extracted
• Files are initially unmatched

3. Auto-Matching

• Click "Auto-Link Files" button
• System attempts to match files to songs
• High-confidence matches are automatically linked

4. Manual Matching

• View unmatched files
• Get suggestions for specific files
• Manually link files to songs
• Review and adjust matches

5. Playback

• Songs with linked music files show play buttons
• Stream music directly from S3 storage
• Integrated with existing playlist functionality

📊 Matching Statistics

The system provides comprehensive statistics:

• Total songs in library
• Total music files uploaded
• Number of matched files
• Number of unmatched files
• Songs without music files
• Overall match rate percentage
