Surely everyone is familiar with the situation when, sitting in some place, he hears a song he loves wildly, but, unfortunately, does not know the correct name. An agonizing search on the Internet for fragmentary words, of course, does not give results, but you’ll want to get hold of an annoying track oh.
Fortunately, software developers are also people, and they had such problems, so there are already programs for determining music, and they have been written for a long time and are waiting in the wings, as well as excited music lovers. Applications of this plan can be found in a large assortment on specialized resources and for different platforms, whether it be Windows, Android or Apple systems.
So, we present to your attention programs for determining computer music and mobile gadgets based on Android and iOS, which have distinguished themselves by a high-quality component, the efficiency of their work and a lot of positive feedback from users.
Let's start with personal PCs and continue with mobile platforms.
Audio tag
The application exists in online realities and does not require any additional installation on your PC. There are modifications for popular browsers - “Chrome” and “Mozilla”, but the principle of operation remains the same in the first and in the second case.
For the program for determining music to start working, you need to go to the developer's site (or activate the plugin) and in the window that appears, perform the required actions. That is, either upload an unnamed “stub” of a file with an unfamiliar melody recorded earlier, or substitute a link if there is one on the Internet.
Then we enter the captcha and in just a few seconds the program for determining music will give you the result. In most cases, even a few dozen. We should also mention the quality of the downloaded files. If you recorded a melody on a smartphone or some other mobile gadget, for example, by placing it on the radio speaker, then the search will certainly succeed. In other cases, when the recording was made in the subway or other noisy places, the result will most likely not please you.
Magic MP3 Tagger
Another interesting program for determining music by sound. Unlike the application described above, it works locally, that is, it requires installation on a hard disk with all the consequences. The search itself is conducted using global databases located on the Internet.
All you need is a record of your favorite melody and a microphone for your computer. We start the program, turn on the first and second, and then we wait for the result. The developer guarantees a 97 percent probability of recognizing the melody provided more or less high-quality recording.
In fact, the program for determining music really recognizes everything that you “feed” it, and stumbles only on tracks with strong noise and interference. After running through the database, the application will give out all the available information about the musical composition and present the original melody in the best bitrate.
Shazam
This is the most popular music detection software for Android and iOS. You can download the application on Google Play and iTunes, respectively. The program has practically no negative reviews, and the available ones cannot be called critical.
The first thing to focus on is the interface. It is absolutely understandable, convenient, and any user will understand it without any problems, whether a beginner or a seasoned user. The second is simplicity. All you need to do is just click on the “Recognize” button and bring the mobile gadget to the sound source, the program will do the rest itself.
The latest software versions can even determine the name of a melody by chant. That is, you are as close as possible humming the motive of the song you like, and the program is trying to recognize it. The chances of success in this case, of course, are noticeably less, but you can still try.
Program features
Upon completion, the application will present on the device screen all the information found - from the name of the track to the names of the group members. Sometimes he even offers to buy tickets for upcoming concerts, if any, take place in your city.
Software will surely appeal to music lovers, because, in addition to the usual recognition of tracks, the program has a fan base for performers, which lists not only official details from Wikipedia, but also some interesting facts and events related to the idol.
Of course, on the same Google Play you can search for alternative applications, but why, if there is an almost perfect pattern that other developers are following.
