Application to find out what the song is. Music recognition using the Tunatic program. About online services

One of the most famous analogues, which can recognize not only the music being played, but also the song you are singing. For an identified composition, a link to Google Play immediately appears, as well as supporting information about the artist himself, his albums and videos.

A useful feature of the service is the ability to monitor the lyrics of a song in real time. The application is completely free to use, but you will have to put up with advertising banners. In general, SoundHound is almost as accurate in terms of accuracy, but the recognition process itself sometimes takes much longer.

2. BeatFind

This is a lesser-known, but no less useful service, devoid of a clutter of functions and advertising. In terms of accuracy of recognition of compositions, it is not inferior to its more famous analogues, and in terms of speed it often even surpasses them. During testing, he made a mistake only once, mistaking a song performed a cappella for a studio original.

The recognized track can be opened in Spotify, Deezer or YouTube. The application also allows you to visualize the music that you “hear” by synchronizing the animation on the screen with it. Even your camera's flash can blink at the beat, as if it were a portable strobe light.

3.MusicID

Another little-known and very simple-looking service with links to Amazon. It doesn't know much about indie music, especially Russian-speaking artists, but it has a nice and user-friendly interface with a minimum amount of advertising.

All found tracks are stored in the search history, from where you can always return to them. For each song, similar compositions and links to videos from YouTube are displayed. You can easily navigate to all albums by artist. The Russian language is not supported, but no special knowledge of English is required.

4. Google Audio Search and Siri

In fact, you can recognize the music around you without any applications. Owners of Android devices can use the audio search widget available with the Google app. It will not only identify the song, but will also allow you to immediately proceed to purchase on Google Play and get more information about the artist and album from the Web.

In the case of Apple devices, everything is much simpler, because Shazam functionality has long been built into Siri. You just need to launch the assistant and ask him “What song is playing?” or simply “Who’s singing?” A link to Apple Music is, of course, included.

5. Bots in Telegram

Using bots in the messenger is not the most convenient way to recognize music, but for those who “live” on Telegram, this option may well be suitable. You just need to add the desired bot and let it listen to the song by holding down the microphone in the message sending line.

One of the most popular bots for this is . It has no problems with recognition speed and accuracy. Each track found is supplemented with a link to the Yandex music service of the same name.

Another option is the Acknow bot. It is also quite accurate and fast, but for it to work you need to subscribe to the Bassmuzic channel. Acknow supplements tracks with links to Spotify and YouTube.

There are not so many programs that help you identify the track playing on your computer (in a commercial or anywhere else). The thing is that recognition algorithms do not always work correctly, plus, not all programs have an extensive library of music or the ability to access the Internet for searches.

However, there are several quality programs that really help you find out the name and artist of the song that is currently playing. These are the programs that will be considered in the current review.

Shazam

Initially, this application was developed for mobile platforms, but recently a full-fledged version was released on Windows, which can be downloaded from the Microsoft Store or on the developer’s official website.

The application boasts an extensive library and Internet access, which will allow you to identify even the most unpopular and old (or new) songs. For recognition, just turn on the desired music and press the appropriate button. Recognition will occur almost instantly, and the probability of error will be extremely low.

Also in the application you can listen to music that is available in libraries, plus there is an individual selection of music. Its algorithm is designed in such a way that it displays the recommended music for you that is similar to the one you were looking for earlier (for example, by genre, duration, etc.).

However, this program also has some disadvantages:

The software can only run on Windows 8 and higher. On other systems, launching is possible only in theory;
To use the application, you need to register on the official Microsoft website. Luckily, registration is completely free;
Users who downloaded Shazam from the official Microsoft store often complain about glitches in the application. In addition, the application became unavailable for download from the Microsoft Store for some time.

When working on a smartphone with the application, such problems do not arise.

Jaikoz

This program is slightly less functional than Shazam, but it works without problems with most common versions of Windows, although it does not have its own mobile application. The program can be downloaded only from the official resource, its distribution is completely free.

It also has a large data library built into it. However, recognition occurs exclusively through loading a particular file into the program. For example, you upload a video to the program, and it gives you all the data about the music that plays in it.

A serious drawback of the program is the lack of Russian localization and the inability to identify a song by sound (only through an audio/video file).

Tunatic

Another good program, consisting of just one button. The application is no longer supported, so it may be difficult to find modern songs, however, the application will find older music without problems.

The principle of operation is as follows: you press the button and turn off the audio or video, then the program determines by the sound from the video/audio what song is playing and looks for all the information about it in its library and gives it to you.

About online services

In addition to programs for PCs and smartphones, there are special online services where you can also find out as much information as possible about the music being played. Sometimes such services turn out to be even more effective than programs, since their online library is regularly updated.

A simple online service, however, completely based on English. It has access to an extensive online library, thanks to which it almost accurately identifies songs by foreign and famous domestic performers. The only serious disadvantage may be the impossibility of correctly identifying songs by performers from the CIS in Russian and other related languages.

You can also register on the website and download the program to your computer to regularly receive interesting recommendations (especially important for fans of Western music).

Service link

This service already has a translation into Russian and does a good job of identifying songs by Russian-speaking artists. However, it can only work with audio/video files. The principle of operation is that you must upload a file with the music you are interested in to the service and get all the information about the playing music available in the service libraries. Libraries are updated regularly.

Also, instead of downloading a file from your computer, you can add it using a direct link. This is very convenient if your file is in cloud storage or located somewhere on a hosting (for example, a video from YouTube).

This article covered all the main programs with which you can find out what music is playing in a video or audio file. True, sometimes the services discussed in the article may make some mistakes.

Music search programs allow you to recognize the name of a song by the sound from its excerpt or video. With tools like these, you can find the song you like in a matter of seconds. If you liked a song in a movie or commercial, you launched the application, and now you already know the name and artist.

The number of truly high-quality programs for searching music by sound is not so large. Many applications have poor search accuracy or a small number of songs in the library. This leads to the fact that quite often it is simply impossible to recognize the song.

This review contains only truly high-quality solutions for recognizing songs on a computer, which will easily determine what kind of track is playing in your headphones.

Shazam is a free music discovery app that was originally only available on mobile devices and recently moved to personal computers. Shazam is able to determine the names of songs on the fly - just play an excerpt from the music and press the recognition button.

Thanks to the program's extensive audio library, it is able to recognize even old and less popular songs. The app displays recommended music for you based on your search history.
To use Shazam, you will need to have a Microsoft account. It can be registered for free on the company's official website.

The disadvantages of the product include the lack of support for Windows below version 8 and the ability to select the Russian interface language.

Important: Shazam is temporarily unavailable for installation from the Microsoft Store.

Jaikoz

If you need to find the name of a song from an audio file or video, then try Jaikoz. Jaikoz is a program for recognizing songs from files.

The application works as follows - you add an audio or video file to the application, start recognition, and after some time Jaikoz finds the real name of the song. In addition, other detailed information about the music is displayed: artist, album, year of release, genre, etc.

The disadvantages include the inability of the program to work with sound played on the computer. Jaikoz only processes already recorded files. Also, the interface is not translated into Russian.

Tunatic

Tunatik is a free small music recognition program. It's easy to use - just one app button allows you to find a song from any video. Unfortunately, this product is almost not supported by developers, so it will be difficult to find modern songs using it. But the application finds old songs quite well.

Music identification programs will help you find your favorite song from a YouTube video or your favorite movie.

5. Bots in Telegram

One of the most popular bots for this is . It has no problems with recognition speed and accuracy. Each track found is supplemented with a link to the Yandex music service of the same name.

Online music recognition.

Everyone has encountered a situation when a song plays on the radio or in a cafe that they really liked, but, naturally, no one knows the name.

Surfing the Internet for a long time does not give anything, but I really want it.

Fortunately, some startups have listened to requests to create something to recognize music from a passage. As a result, we have several interesting services.

AudioTag

The main purpose of this resource is online identification. There are no complex elements that need to be manipulated to search.

The track database contains millions of tracks of any genre.

The chances that you will be unlucky are minimal.

It is noteworthy that the search is carried out in 2 ways:

By providing a file;
Link substitution.

To find what you are looking for, the service takes about 10–20 seconds, after which the result appears on the screen.

The main thing is that the source is of relatively good quality, otherwise nothing will work. All you need to do is enter the captcha and then enjoy the result.

The site has an English localization, but the navigation is so clear that you do not need knowledge of foreign languages.

In the search results you will be presented with several tracks that match the “description”. All you have to do is listen to everything to find the song you want.

Magic MP3 Tagger

Another interesting online identification program for your computer.

This service was created for local and global search for interesting content on the Internet.

Important! If the program fails to find a song on its own, it automatically switches to the MusicBrainz database, which has a huge collection of free music.

As for the action algorithm. It is not the entire file that is used here, but a “snapshot” of it generated by the program.

This method allows you to identify an audio recording with an accuracy of up to 97%.

If you want to determine the genre of a composition, the program will kindly provide all the required information.

In addition, files from the "Track1" or "Various Artist" series will be renamed according to recognition.

It is noteworthy that she is not particularly familiar with the Russian language, so the name of the song may contain some abracadabra, but she is quite legible.

To use, you just need to download the installation package, which weighs a little more than 5 MB, and then feel free to surf the search. The main thing is the presence of the Internet.

Useful information:

Shazam

Perhaps the most popular online music recognition service for, and. It's no wonder why it is in such demand among music lovers.

Firstly, the application interface is so clear that you will not have any problems using it.

Secondly, all you need to do is press the “recognize” button on the screen, bringing the phone to the sound source.

Alternatively, you can hum the tune yourself. The chances, of course, will be much less, but you can try.

Pay attention! Identification is carried out through the gadget’s microphone. Please note that when the phone is close to the sound source, various interference may be created, such as hissing and excessive volume.

The probability of finding is more than 90%. Please note that the signal must be legible.

Finding it takes no more than 3–5 seconds from the moment it starts, and the procedure itself “eats” no more than 30–50 kb of traffic.

If the procedure is successful, you will be shown the title, artist, as well as the album, release year and link to . There is an option to purchase through to save it to the collection.

Fans will be delighted with the artist bio that will appear when searching.

Unfortunately, there are some disadvantages. Let's start with the fact that it is relatively free. The free version can only detect 5 tracks per month.

SoundHound

A service that constantly competes with in quality and speed in sound. They are practically the same, with the exception of some points.

Important! Unfortunately, she does not recognize the Russian-language stage in any of its manifestations. Apparently, our performers are simply not in the database. Even if they sing foreign language, the program will not find anyone.

On the other hand, the database allows you to find even the most exotic styles that are inaccessible to others.

Often SoundHound manages to find little-known representatives of Techno, PsyTrance, DownTempo and underground heavy music of “garage” bands.

The principle of operation is similar to similar ones: you press the button, bring the phone with the microphone to the source and wait.

If a song is stuck in your head, you can hum it. The result will also not be long in coming.

Another feature: enter a few lines of text (if you know) in the appropriate section, and then click on search. For him there are no fundamental differences.

The “load” for the track you are looking for is offered, the words of the song, the possibility of purchasing in and more.

There are 2 types of programs: Free and Full. The basic functionality is identical, but the free one can be annoying with pop-up messages.

The paid version, which costs $7, does not have this drawback. On the other hand, purchase is optional, so decide for yourself which version to download.

An excellent application for those who love Western pop music.

Sound Search for Google Play

This is not a standard program, but a widget that is available to all owners of versions 4 and higher.

Unlike a full-fledged program that needs to be launched and wasted time, the SoundSearch icon can be freely displayed on the desktop to be activated as needed.

Owners of OS 4.2 can even set a lock screen, saving even more startup time.

Identification is carried out by servers. If the search engine finds something similar, the result will immediately appear on the display.

Often the entire procedure does not take more than 3–5 seconds. IN special cases, the system can search up to 10–12.

Accuracy varies between 85–92%. This is due to the fact that it does not see any particular differences between the remix and the original.

This fact, of course, will darken fans of club culture, but nothing can be done.
