Sometimes, you’re walking on the street or at a coffee shop and accidentally hear a very catchy song but never know the name of the song.
If you have ever fallen into the above situations, please refer to the applications on this smartphone.
1. Ask Genius or Google
Simply type keywords into Genius.com – a place that specializes in collecting song lyrics.
This method is simple but very effective.
2. Shazam
This is a quite popular song search application.
Next, Shazam will listen to the song and return results to you, including song name, artist, album, link to watch on YouTube… The accuracy is quite high if it is a European or American song.
Shazam is currently available on iOS, Android, Mac, Windows and many other platforms.
3. Google Sound Search
Users of Google’s Pixel phones have long been familiar with the Now Playing feature.
Now, Google has also launched the Sound Search application available on the Android platform, Google Home and virtual assistant Google Assistant.
You can also ask Sound Search to search by saying `what song is playing?`
Sound Search uses cloud storage with diverse data sources, so the accuracy when finding song names is quite high.
4. Ask virtual assistant Siri or Alexa
If you own Apple’s virtual assistant Siri or Amazon’s Alexa, you can completely force them to listen to the melody and guess the song for you.
As mentioned, Apple has acquired the Shazam application, so in the future it can integrate more with Siri to make this virtual assistant even more intelligent, attentive and artistic.
5. SoundHound
This application is quite similar to Shazam.
Like Google Sound Search, once you’ve `loaded` the music into SoundHound, you can chant the mantra `OK Hound, what song is this?`
The application is available on iOS and Android.
