Surely everyone is familiar with a situation where you hear a familiar melody somewhere, but you just can’t remember what the track is called. Not all users are distinguished by excellent memory for musical compositions and artists, but modern technologies in this case will come to the rescue.
On the Internet, you can find special programs for identifying music that will tell you the name of the track, its author, and other information. True, not every utility of such a plan adequately copes with the task.
Some programs for recognizing the melody determine the composition in a matter of seconds, while others cannot even cope with Kalinka-Malinka, so you need to be careful when choosing such software, otherwise you will have to rely only on your memory.
Top Track Recognition Services
So, we present to your attention the best music recognition programs, which are very popular and have a lot of positive reviews. Consider the features and features of each application.
Shazam
“Shazam” can be called the most popular program for recognizing music on the phone and computer. Reviews about the utility are completely positive. The social networks Facebook, Twitter, Vatsap and others are competently integrated into the Shazam interface, which significantly facilitates the exchange of musical compositions with like-minded people.
There are no questions about the work of the music recognition program. The utility pretty quickly determines not only the name of the song, but also all the key information, if any, in the service database: artist, release date of the song, album, etc.
In addition, if the track is quite popular, then in addition to the basic data, song lyrics, video and other related content may appear on the screen. All this is neatly and conveniently located on the main screen of the utility.
"Alice"
The voice assistant "Alice" is the brainchild of the Yandex search engine. It has a lot of interesting and extensive features, including acting as a program for recognizing music on a computer or mobile device.
To start the function of determining tracks, just say the phrase: “Alice, what kind of song”, and then turn on the song. The assistant works quite fast and in a few seconds will present a rather detailed result: the name of the melody, artist, year of release, album, and in some cases the lyrics with clips.
Alisa uses the Yandex.Music service as a base for searching, so there are no problems with Russian-language compositions, even if the latter are little known. At the same time, difficulties sometimes arise with rare foreign tracks, so lovers of only foreign music should use another program for recognizing music.
Soundhound
A fairly popular utility around the world that "breathes" into the back of the "Shazamu" behind it by just a step. Some users even consider SoundHound to be the best program for recognizing music on Android, and the Shazam service is simply a well-developed brand.
After starting the utility and activating the recording, it will literally in a couple of seconds determine the name of the track and artist, but provided that the file has an indicator of at least 320 bitrate. If the composition has a lot of extraneous noise, poor quality, or you yourself are humming a melody, then the recognition process is noticeably delayed.
After identifying the song, the utility will give a link to download it in Google Play and display on the working panel all the available information about the track: name, artist, release year, album, etc.
The application has a very interesting function - tracking the lyrics in real time. Programs are in many ways good: efficient, convenient, understandable, and completely free. But, alas, advertising banners are frequent guests here, so either have to put up with them or buy a paid subscription.
Beatfind
This is less known, but almost as effective as the previous utilities, track recognition software. Software is not piled up with functionality and is not demanding on system resources, therefore it works without problems even on old mobile gadgets.
The program recognizes songs in seconds if you offer it a quality track. After identification, the utility provides a link to the original composition in the popular Spotify, Deezer, and YouTube services.
I must say about the well-implemented visual component of the program. The animated bits on the main screen fascinate with their beauty, plus they do not just work in the beat of the equalizer, but act as a kind of strobe, drawing attention to the action on the screen, to the backlighting of the camera keys and flashes.
Musicid
Another little-known but interesting service for recognizing music. The utility is not so well versed in Russian-language and indie compositions, but it also has a pleasant, convenient and intuitive interface.
There is no need to wander through the branches of the menu, just click on one button, and the result will not be long in coming. It is worth mentioning the lack of advertising, which for some users is a critical point.
After identifying the track, the program will give a link to the original in Amazon, and also display all the available information on the composition on the main screen: name, author, year of release, album name, etc. In addition, the service will offer similar songs for listening with a link to "YouTube". The Russian language, alas, is not supported, but due to the simplicity of the interface, it is not needed here - even the most inexperienced users will understand it.
