Free online music recognition service. It allows you to easily find out the song title, artist name and other information for almost any audio-music fragment. You can find the name or artist of a song, or a melody that sounded on the radio, in a store or from a video (movie, video, clip), and other sources. Using the service is easy and simple. It is enough to upload an audio file with a fragment of the recorded composition (to a mobile phone, microphone or voice recorder; even a fragment of 15 seconds is enough) and the robot, having analyzed the downloaded file, will try to recognize it and give out detailed information about it. The downloaded audio file can be in almost any known audio format (*.WAV, *.MP3, *.OGG, etc.), of any size (from a short fragment of a song to a whole track), and of any quality (from a copy of a track CD to low quality and noisy recording).
The service has a Russian interface. An excerpt can be downloaded from a computer or you can specify the direct URL of an audio file.
Sources and additional information:
Quite often, users are faced with the fact that they cannot remember the names of songs that are “spinning in their heads”. Or they want to know the name of the artist of the new track that is currently playing. But not everyone knows how to find music by melody.
Fortunately, at present there are many services that allow you to identify a song by fragment.
Audiotag.info
This site offers a user who wants to find music by sound to enter a link to a video or audio in a special field. Melody can also be uploaded to the server. The system will try to recognize the track and give a suitable result. Nothing depends on the power of the user's computer. Since the system accepts mp4 files for processing, their owner does not have to save the audio track separately from the clip.
Midomi
How to find music by melody without having a melody that exactly matches the original? This online service can easily find the desired song. The user does not need to have a unique timbre and a large vocal range. The service is easy to use as a piece of music can be easily recorded using the dedicated button. After the user performs the specified action, the system starts searching according to a specific algorithm.
Musipedia.org
It is a search engine for identifying music tracks. Not the easiest service to use. Even with a user-friendly interface on the site, it is not clear to every user where to find music, since an online application sometimes does not display search results at all.
Lyreach.com
The last site in the list offering online track recognition service. To start the search, enter known words from a musical fragment in a special field and click on the button. The service quickly finds the texts of tracks containing the entered phrases and displays the results. The longer the well-known phrase, the more likely the site will suggest the required song. Otherwise, the system displays a lot of unnecessary results or does not display anything at all.
Tunatic
The most popular program for operating computer systems Windows and Mac OS. Will it be required by the user during the melody on the computer? Using the program, you need to record a fragment and immediately send it to the site. You can use both microphone and computer. After performing the specified action, the user will receive a link with information about the requested music track. You should not compare online services with programs for a computer. In each case, either one or the other may work better. In most cases, the use of several services gives positive results.
Audiggle
It is a free program for identifying songs. Works a little faster than Tunatic. The program is easy to learn, can be minimized to tray. The search history is saved. The program implements Gracenote technology. In the track search results, you can read not only the title, but also the album, as well as the address of the site where you can purchase the song. There you can also find information about concerts, other albums of the group and much more. The application finds almost all the requested songs. Works only with normal quality audio.
Music IP Mixer
The program can not only recognize music tracks, but also search the database for similar melodies. During a library scan, a footprint is computed for each song, by which the song is identified.
Magic Mp3 Tagger by MusicBrainz
Another program for identifying music tracks. Works on the same principle as the rest.
Track ID
One of the first track recognition programs created for Sony Ericsson. Currently, the Swedish-Japanese company offers a standard service developed by it for all mobile phones. In addition, there is a computer version of the application. How can I find the name of the music for my mobile phone? The principle of the program is based on the recording of a short passage (no longer than 12 seconds). After that, this fragment is sent to the site and after a while the user receives all the information about the track, if it is available in the database. Shazam ID and Midomi Mobile applications for the Symbian mobile system, as well as MusicID for simple phones, can become an alternative to the program. The latter has a custom search history.

How many times have you come across a situation where you heard a great song on the radio or in a YouTube video, but did not know who sang it, and no one in the comments could say its name? In such a situation, various music recognition programs such as Tunatic, AudioTag, Shazam and Midomi will help you. In this article, we will review their main features, test them, and point out the advantages and disadvantages of each.
Shazam
An online music recognition service that doesn't require you to download a file. It is enough to press one button and the program will start listening to the track you want to find. The recording of a fragment is very fast - it takes less than 10 seconds to determine the artist. Before recording, the application asks permission to access your microphone.
The search results will show the title of the work, the name of the artist and the cover of the album. You will also be prompted to find a clip or purchase an mp3 file. It will be possible to watch all the songs from this album, listen to small 30-second excerpts to get acquainted with the opportunity to purchase the songs you like.
In order to start the search, just go to the site and download the file with the desired fragment or provide a link to it. The site developers recommend uploading tracks with a duration of 15 - 45 seconds, but no one forbids you to submit the entire song.
Supports work with MP3, WAV, OGG formats. At the top of the site there is a button to switch to Russian. If the quality of the passage is low and the robot cannot unequivocally determine the name, then it will offer several options.
The analysis takes place within 20-30 seconds. Unfortunately, if you heard music on the radio, you won’t be able to find it right away. Therefore, you need to have time to record a fragment. The developers claim that the robot will be able to cope even with poor quality recordings.
As a result of testing, the AudioTag service was able to find all five tracks. He easily coped with both last year's compositions and songs from ten years ago. The only drawback is the need to additionally record a snippet of the song and upload it to the site.
is a free desktop application. It can be installed under Windows and Mac OS operating systems. After a simple installation, a program window appears with the inscription “Tunatic ready. Click to identify song. Working with it is extremely simple - just press the white button with the image of a magnifying glass while the track is playing. After connecting to the server, the message “Identifying song. Please wait" - this program collects and sends data to the server to look for matches in the database. If your microphone does not work or the music is not heard, then the message “Signal too weak. Check your microphone. If the song is defined, then the name of the artist and its name will appear.
The test results are as follows: out of 5 foreign songs, only 3 were found. The search for each track takes about 45 seconds. I can't say if this is a regularity or an accident, but the tracks older than 2010 could not be identified.
conclusions
Summing up our review, I want to give Shazam the first place for almost instant recognition, as well as a wide range of solutions for both desktop computers and almost any mobile device. Second place goes to Midomi, who also quickly and accurately found the suggested tracks, and, moreover, is able to analyze recordings on the fly without the need to download files. Third place goes to AudioTag for identifying all passages, but with the ability to search only files saved on the computer. Fourth place goes to the Tunatic program for not having coped with all the works offered to it.
