You may hear a song as part of a soundtrack on a film you watched - or just anywhere. The song gets to you, but you have no idea the identity of the song. That can be one of the toughest tasks you have to deal with in life.
You try to search for it online but have no idea where to start because you only have a few lines mastered. But not to worry anymore, there are some mobile apps that are good at that and will help you identify the songs. These apps can be found in both iOS and Android version phones.
Below, you learn of some of the apps that you can use today to identify songs that you hear. Read on to the end to find out how you go about it. Info on how much the apps cost and such information can also be found here.
Soundhound
Hounds are used to track down people - at least the old ones were. It is only right that this app had to be named Soundhound, as it tracks down and identifies music you have heard. With the app available on both iOS and Android and free, this is a must-have app.
You don’t even have to identify the lyrics of the song when using this app, all you do is just hum the melody. If you can remember the lyrics, that’s a plus, but not a necessity when using the app. The catch, however, is that when you hum the melody of the song you’re looking for is that you have to be accurate.
Shazam
You probably have seen this app on your phone and on either the App Store or Google Play Store. And maybe you didn’t know what it was about. Well, now you do, and it is one of the best apps that you can use when trying to identify a song you've heard.
The app has unlimited tagging, which makes it easy to identify the song that you’re looking for. It also works coherently with Facebook, Spotify, and Twitter, making it easy to accurately identify the song. The developer also scrapped off a number of limitations that were there before –you can tag as many songs as possible.
The app is available for free on both iOS and Android; download today and start using it!
MusiXmatch
Most of the apps are available only on Android and iOS; with this app, you get one extra as it is available on Windows, as well. Though there aren’t any Windows phones coming in anymore, this is for the ones that were there before.
Among all the apps on this list, this is the one that has the largest catalog of music. It also has powerful lyric recognition, which means you may get a number of options when you’re searching for a song. The advantage is that you don't need to be online to browse the song lyrics you're searching for.
With this app, you have an app that works well with third-party players. You can get the music from the app and play is as soon as possible on your players.
Spotsearch
The last app on this list is one that is available only on Android devices. It also comes for free, which is a plus for the numerous users or potential users. The app is integrated with Spotify, which makes it easy to identify the songs you want.
Just go the search section of the app and type in any lyrics of the song you’re looking for and you’ll find it. Spotsearch will link you with the song you want on Spotify once the song has been identified. You just have to be sure to remember the lyrics of the song you want. At least a few lyrics are enough to find the song you want to be identified.
