A method includes computing match scores for each portion of multiple portions of a first audio fingerprint. The match scores are based on a comparison of the portion with each of multiple portions of a second audio fingerprint. The method includes applying a positional penalty to a highest score of the match scores for a portion of the first audio fingerprint and generating a list of runs based on the highest score for each portion of the multiple portions of the first audio fingerprint. The method includes determining, based on the list of runs, an unordered match between a set of consecutive portions of the first audio fingerprint and a set of non-consecutive portions of the second audio fingerprint. The method includes, in response to determining that a length of the unordered match satisfies a length criterion, outputting an indicator that the first audio fingerprint matches the second audio fingerprint.
