1. A computer-implemented method for detecting and removing traceable identifying audio content from electronic media content, the method comprising:

  • receiving, over a network at one or more servers, media content to be broadcast or distributed, the media content including audio data;

    determining, by the one or more servers, whether the audio data of the media content includes traceable identifying audio content defined by an audio identifier, wherein the determining comprises;

    transforming, by the one or more servers, the audio data of the media content into a set of frequency components using an integral transformation; and

    evaluating, by the one or more servers, whether the transformed audio data includes an audio identifier based on a predetermined set of frequencies, wherein the evaluating comprises;

    comparing, by the one or more servers, a set of frequencies of the transformed audio data to the predetermined set of frequencies; and

    determining, by the one or more servers, that the audio data of the media content includes traceable identifying audio content defined by the audio identifier when the set of frequencies of the transformed audio data matches the predetermined set of frequencies;

    generating, by the one or more servers, new audio data based on the audio data of the media content when an audio identifier is determined to be include in the audio data;

    removing, by the one or more servers, audio data from the media content when the audio identifier is determined to be include in the audio data;

    adding, by the one or more servers, the new audio data to the media content when the audio data is removed from the media content; and

    broadcasting or distributing, by the one or more servers, the media content having the new audio data to one or more user devices.
