About Music Identifier Apps
As the name implies, music identifier apps help search for music. On these apps, you can actually search for quite a number of songs using the song title and/or the music artiste or some lines in the songs.
The search returns songs based on the keyword that you type in the search bar.
List Of Music Identifier Apps
Below are some of the most renowned music identifier apps around;
Shazam
Shazam is an application that can identify music, movies, advertisements, and television shows by playing a short sample and using the device’s microphone.
It was developed by London-based Shazam Entertainment and is now owned by Apple Inc. The software is available as a Google Chrome extension and for Android, macOS, iOS, Wear OS, and watchOS.
Shazam Entertainment Limited, the app’s original UK developer, was founded in 1999 by Chris Barton, Philip Inghelbrecht, Avery Wang, and Dhiraj Mukherjee. Apple purchased the company for a reported $400 million on September 24, 2018.
Shazam uses an audio fingerprint based on a time-frequency graph known as a spectrogram to identify songs. It collects a brief sample of audio being played using the built-in microphone on a smartphone or computer.
MusicID
MusicID has a nice, minimalist main screen with a listen button and a feed of songs you’ve previously identified.
