Ah its all lowercase. Then I would say the song is "Who Let The Dogs Out" by "Baha Men"

Method: Well I had already got the SHA-1 hash from the previous posts. Then I used the track_metadata from FMA Data for music analysis.

Then I wrote a short python code to get the SHA-1 hash name for each of the files and appended that with the track names. I wrote a pythonic script (instead of trying to find an online music search db) just because I wanted to check out some of its functions and also get familiar with some Capture The Flag contest method - this challenge was quite like some preliminary CTF contest

And then a simple search for the hash was enough to get the song name.

You went the whole nine yards !
I assumed at some point someone would get to the SHA1 hash and try some websites with different databases like this one: https://hashes.com/en/decrypt/hash

But because you did it all on your own and also shared the repositories and code used ... 1 merit did not feel enough.

You may not be a newbie anymore but heck, it's my thread and I'll merit if I want to
