5 surefire ways to find the name of that song

There are few things in life more annoying than having a song stuck in your head that you don’t know the lyrics to. It’s even worse when you don’t even know the title of the song or who the hell the artist is behind this banger. How are you supposed to stop singing gibberish to the tune of this track when you don’t know a single thing about it?

Thankfully, there are now quite a number of apps that help solve this conundrum. Using these tools, you’ll be able to identify the next song you come across and never awkwardly belt out nonsensical wrong lyrics ever again.

1. Shazam

The song identifying app you’re probably most familiar with is Shazam. All users have to do is hold up their phone to the source of the music while the song is playing and tap a single button within the Shazam app. Shazam will listen in on the song and provide you with all the relevant info you’d need to know like the artist, title, and album. It’s extraordinarily accurate.

Shazam will also provide you with links to YouTube to where you can listen to or purchase the track. The app also keeps a nifty history of all the songs you’ve identified using Shazam.

Shazam is available on iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, and practically every other platform. You could also probably soon expect even more integration with Apple services like Apple Music as the company acquired Shazam, though its future on Android is now uncertain.

2. SoundHound

SoundHound does pretty much everything Shazam does and even more. Just like Shazam, SoundHound can tell you what song is playing at the tap of a button.

But let’s say that song you just heard ended before you could whip out your phone and open Shazam. Not a problem. That’s where SoundHound comes in.

If that song stuck in your head isn’t currently playing, you can hum it or sing its tune into SoundHound and it can identify the song. Of course, this depends on how closely your vocal interpretation of the song is to the actual song you’re trying to figure out. But, if it’s not wildly off, SoundHound can get the job done.

In addition, just call out to your phone “OK Hound, what song is this?” and the app’s voice controls will take over. Shazam doesn’t have a hands-free option, giving SoundHound the upper hand while you’re driving the car.

SoundHound was originally known as a musical search engine called Midomi. In fact, the desktop version of SoundHound is still called Midomi. And, just like SoundHound which is available on iOS and Android devices, you can sing or hum that tune you just can’t figure out into your desktop computer or laptop’s mic and Midomi will figure it out with the same accuracy as the SoundHound app.

3. Google Sound Search

If you have a Pixel phone, you might be familiar with Google Play’s Now Playing feature. Like Shazam and SoundHound, Now Playing would listen in to the music surrounding you, match it with a database and let you know the artist and title. But, the thing that set Google’s feature apart was that it was always-on. You could pull out your Pixel phone at any time and Google would already display what song was playing because it was already listening.

Google has now brought that feature to its even more powerful Sound Search cloud service which has a far greater dataset and performance capability. Ask any of your Android phone, Google Home, or any of your Google Assistant enabled devices “what song is playing?” and Google will serve you up with the answer.

4. Ask Siri or Alexa

Just like with a number of the aforementioned devices running Google Assistant, hardware with Apple’s Siri or Amazon’s Alexa can provide you with the results you need as well. Just call out to either and Siri or Alexa will listen in and let you know what they’re hearing.

As previously mentioned, with Apple’s acquisition of Shazam, look for the company to start integrating the app with Siri.

5. Genius or Google Search

This is my own personal tried-and-true method. While I’ve used all the above apps and tools at some point or another, this has been the most accurate way to find out what song you’re listening to, in my experience.

When you hear a song, simply home in on a simple line from the lyrics. Then open either the song lyrics website Genius or just go to Google search. Type in those lyrics and the majority of the time you’ll get the track details you were looking for. When using Google, it’s especially helpful to put the lyrics in quotations so Google only looks for that exact string that’s sung in the song.

It may seem a little bit less intuitive, but for times when Shazam or the other services just couldn’t make out the track in a noisy setting or the song was by a lesser known artist, this trick got the job done.

What song is this? Find out online

Remember that time you were walking down the street, on the bus, at this random party and you heard a song you wanted to add to your favorite playlist and wondered: what song is this?

Here are tips from Opera on apps and websites that can help you identify tunes and songs.

1. Shazam

Shazam is one of the most popular apps to use for this kind of quest. It is very accurate and identifies the song quickly. Just tap the big blue button and let it listen to the music. No internet connection? No problem. Shazam tags the song you made it listen, so you can easily find it and try later when you are connected. It is available for Android and iOS . There’s also a desktop version you can check out here . 🙂

2. SoundHound

Forgot the lyrics despite your best attempt to remember them? Don’t panic – as long as you can remember the tune, all is not lost.. SoundHound can identify a song by listening to the melody – you can sing it, hum it or even whistle it. To start, just tap SoundHound’s orange button, and it will do its best to match your recording. It will give you a list of possible songs, so don’t worry if your singing isn’t pitch perfect.

3. Ok Google, Siri & Cortana

This is the easiest way to identify songs if you don’t want to download any third-party apps. Just ask Ok Google , Siri or Cortana “What song is this?” or “What music is playing?”, etc., and they’ll find it for you in no time. 🙂

On your Android, turn on “Ok Google” or tap the mic button on Search. If you have an iPhone , ask Siri “What song is this?” and let her listen to it. Windows Phone? Press the Search button to go to Cortana, tap the Music search icon, and she will start listening.

4. WatZatSong

When all else fails, crowdsourcing the answer can save the day. WatZatSong is an online community where you can upload a sample of the track you are trying to identify. Write as many details you know about it and other members will help you name it as fast as possible.

These are all ways I’ve been able to identify random, “mystery” tunes that I end up loving. If you love to look things up online, try the Opera Mini mobile web browser for Android and iPhone, which also gives you speed and data savings when you surf the web. Let us know in the comments if you have any other handy ways to identify an unknown song!

Question: Q: Song name shows as Grouping name on iPhone

I recently have a weird problem with song names on my iPhone 7, iOS 10.2.

Some of my songs names show up as grouping name, which I set as country of origin, for no reason. For example instead of the song name, it shows up as US/UK/Japan, etc but when I play the song, it shows up as normal on the «Playing Now» panel. This doesn’t affect all the songs in the album but some and majority of my albums are not affected by this.

My iTunes is very organized and I never purchased individual songs, only full album if I like the artist. I set grouping as country of origin, disc number, song number, and put full artworks. Being that kind of person myself, it annoys me to see unorganized list of my music.

Is anyone experiencing the same anomaly/problem like mine? Any solution?

iPhone 7, iOS 10.2

Posted on Jan 30, 2017 10:54 AM

The problem is caused by the fact that Apple has added a new tag to iTunes tracks called «Work Name».

Work name is meant to be used for classical music to show the name of the work (as opposed to the movement).

However, Apple decided to automatically populate «work name» with the values in «grouping». So, in the Music app, it is showing you what it thinks is the name of the work being listened to, but due to a screw-up, it is showing your the grouping value instead.

1. «Get Info» for an individual track

2. The first field is «song», but there are two arrows next to it. If you click on «song», you can change it to «work name»

1. Select all the affected tracks

3. Check the box called «Use work and movement»

4. Delete the work value.

To see all the affected tracks, make a new smart playlist where «Work» is not [empty]. 8724 tracks. Thanks, Apple!
