1. SoundHound
One of the most famous analogs, which can recognize not only the music being played, but also singing you a song. For the identified song, a link to Google Play appears immediately, along with support information about the artist, his albums and clips.
A useful feature of the service is the ability to follow the text of the song in real time. Use the application is completely free, but you have to put up with advertising banners. In general, the accuracy of SoundHound is almost equal to Shazam, but the process of recognition sometimes takes much more time.
2. BeatFind
This is a lesser known, but no less useful service, devoid of piling up functions and advertising. By the accuracy of recognition of tracks, it is not inferior to more famous analogs, and in terms of their speed, they even outperform them. When testing, he made a mistake only once, taking a song, performed by a cappella, for the studio original.
The recognized track can be opened in Spotify, Deezer or YouTube. Also, the application allows you to visualize music that “hears” by synchronizing animation with it on the screen. Even the flash of your camera can blink into the bit, as if it were a portable stroboscope.
3. MusicID
Another little-known and very simple external service with links to Amazon. He does not know indie music, especially Russian-speaking artists, but at the same time has a pleasant and convenient interface with a minimum amount of advertising.
All found tracks are stored in the search history, from which they can always be returned. For each song, similar compositions and links to videos from YouTube are displayed. The artist can easily go to all the albums. The Russian language is not supported, but special knowledge in English is not required.
4. Audio Search Google and Siri
In fact, you can recognize music around and without any applications. Android device owners can use the audio search widget that is available with the Google app. He not only defines the song, but also allows you to go directly to the 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 the functionality of Shazam has long been built into Siri. You just need to run an assistant and ask him “Which song is playing?” Or just “Who sings?”. Link to Apple Music, of course, is attached.
5. Bots in Telegram
Using bots in a messenger is not the most convenient way to recognize music, but those who “live” in Telegram, this option may well be suitable. It is only necessary to add the desired bot and let it listen to the song by holding the microphone in the message sending line.
One of the most popular bots for this is the bot Yandex.Muzyki. With speed and accuracy of recognition of problems he does not. Each track found is supplemented by a link to the music company of the same name, Yandex.
