# AfptAddTrackWav

DEPRECATED:

The `AfptAddTrackWav` task is deprecated in IDOL Speech Server version 11.5 and later. Use the AfpAddTrack task instead.

This task is still available for existing implementations, but it might be incompatible with new functionality. The task might be deleted in future.

The `AfptAddTrackWav` task allows you to add a new audio track to an audio fingerprint database, reading the data from an audio file and converting it into AFP features before indexing. If the database does not already exist, it is created by adding the track.

The `AfptAddTrackWav` task uses templates as opposed to landmarks, which improves robustness to audio mismatches at the cost of scaleability.

## Parameters

Parameter | Description | Required
--- | --- | ---
Type | The task name. Set to `AfptAddTrackWav`. | Yes
AfpDb | The audio fingerprint database (if it is defined in the configuration file). | See Comments
File | The name of the audio file to index. | Yes
Pack | The audio fingerprint database (if it is not defined in the configuration file). | See Comments
PackDir | The path to the directory containing the database. If this directory does not already exist, manually create it before sending the action. If the database does not yet exist, IDOL Speech Server creates the database in this directory. | See Comments
Rnd | A window size within which a random offset shift is calculated. |
Sfreq | The sample frequency of the audio file to process. |
Tag | The tag associated with the track being added. | Yes

## Comments

NOTE:

The database type for this template-based audio fingerprinting task is `fptdb` (as opposed to `fpdb` for landmark-based audio fingerprinting).

If the database is defined in the IDOL Speech Server configuration file, you must set the AfpDb parameter. If the database is not defined, set both the Pack and PackDir parameters instead.

## Example

    http://localhost:15000/action=AddTask&Type=AfptAddTrackWav&File=C:\Data\Jingle.wav&Tag=MyCompanyJingle&PackDir=C:\resources&Pack=Adverts

This action uses template-based matching to index the audio file `Jingle.wav` into the `Adverts` database. If the `Adverts` database does not already exist, IDOL Speech Server creates it. If the clip is subsequently identified in an audio file, IDOL Speech Server identifies it using the tag `MyCompanyJingle`.
