Why Riffhold

Built for the people who own the music

Your catalog, private

Each account has its own catalog. Your tracks are matched only against your own checks and never shared.

Re-encodes and excerpts

Catches copies that were converted, compressed, cut down or wrapped in a video, not just identical files.

A clear verdict

Owned, protected, review or clear, with the matched track and the seconds that line up, so a person decides in seconds.

How it works

Three steps

01Add your originals

Upload files or paste links. Riffhold fingerprints them and deletes the audio.

02Check uploads

From the widget on your site, the dashboard or the API, one file at a time or at volume.

03Act on the result

Auto-act on owned and protected, send review to a person, let clear through.

Under the hood

No AI guesses. Acoustic fingerprints, on our own servers.

Fingerprints, not models

Riffhold turns each track into an acoustic fingerprint (open-source Chromaprint) and file hashes. It compares fingerprints; it doesn't "listen" with an AI model or invent matches.

No third-party vendors

Every check runs on the Riffhold engine in our EU infrastructure. Your audio never goes to an outside AI or recognition service, and there's no vendor account behind it.

Audio deleted, fingerprints kept

Files are deleted right after fingerprinting. Only fingerprints and hashes stay, in your private catalog, matched only against your own checks.

FAQ

Riffhold, answered

Does Riffhold recognise any song?

No. It only matches against the tracks you add to your own catalog. To screen for commercial music in general, use Music Rights Check.

Who can see my tracks?

Only your account. Each catalog is private and is never matched against anyone else's checks.

What does it miss?

Music mixed far under speech (roughly 8 dB quieter than the voice) is usually not detected, and large speed or pitch changes are only partly caught and go to review.

Do you keep my audio?

No. Riffhold keeps acoustic fingerprints and file hashes. The audio itself is deleted once it has been fingerprinted.

Widget or API?

The widget is for checking uploads on your own site. Teams on the withConflux Content API use the audio-ownership check with the same key they already have.
