1. A system comprising:
- a plurality of network servers and a communications network for use in connecting said plurality of network servers with a plurality of user devices, said system further comprising;
a memory store comprising a verification database, said verification database comprising information corresponding to each of a plurality of digitized content masters, for each digitized content master said verification database comprising;
table of contents information corresponding to the digitized content master;
at least one songprint identifier derived from the digitized content master;
at least one processor coupled to said store, said at least one processor configured to;
receive table of contents information from a user device of the plurality of user devices;
receive at least one songprint identifier derived from digitized content at the user device; and
determine whether or not to provide information authorizing play of the digitized content at the user device, said determination being made using said verification database, the received table of contents information and the received at least one songprint identifier.

Abstract
A system for detecting digitized content and selecting matches from a master verification database. The detection of digitized content is performed using a verification database which contains a master table of contents identifiers and songprints for corresponding digitized content. A network server is programmed to receive selections of a table of contents identifiers from computers, and to request selections of songprint identifiers from the computers and selects matches from the master verification database.
