Methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture for media monitoring are disclosed. In particular, the example methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture generate digital spectral signatures for use in identifying media information. Initially, a frame of media samples is obtained. A first frequency component having a first spectral power and a second frequency component having a second spectral power are identified by performing a spectral transform operation on the frame of media samples. A descriptor of the first frame of media samples is determined based on a comparison of the first spectral power and the second spectral power. A first signature is then generated based on the descriptor.
