Have you ever wondered how to know the name of a song from a smartphone ? There are several easy methods to find songs on a mobile device. Listening to music is one of the main uses given to a smartphone, and it has even almost partially replaced other devices for playing mp3 and other formats.

Due to this, it is common to find a series of applications and tools to search songs and lyrics efficiently and quickly, ranging from melody recognition to identification of the artist and year of production.

It is worth mentioning that there is a range of possibilities that range from voice identification (through humming) and disk image recognition, to applications that just by placing a few words show the most accurate results possible.

The 5 main ways to get a song name from a

Google

One of the most powerful tools for searching practically any desired item is Google. In fact, over time, it has enhanced its properties to offer a better service for users by integrating a series of plugins and functions.

To search for the name of the song, it is suggested to place some fragments of it, between quotes, in order to obtain more precise results. In fact, in certain cases the search engine can even redirect to other pages such as YouTube and Vevo.

Youtube

Another way to find the name of the song we are looking for is through this video and music platform, considered one of the most important and popular in the digital environment.

The process is relatively simple, since it is more or less similar to the previous point: place some fragments of the letter and click on search. In this case, the platform will show a list with the possible options related to the song.

TuneFind.com

This page also acts as a search engine, but specifically for songs and themes from movies and TV series. It includes main themes and bands that have been incorporated in the different productions.

Also, another more or less similar alternative is heardontv.com, which has an impressive music library and whose services also extend to an application for iOS users.

Voice search

It is a tool that is already in most Android and iOS devices, which is extremely useful in this case because the user can replicate the song with their voice or by placing a fragment of it.

On Android

This method, which acts as an extra Google service, relies on an icon in the form of a musical note when the song has been captured.

On iOS

Siri will take care of the corresponding search. While the music is playing, Siri is asked for the name of the song. In certain cases it is recommended to take a screenshot to strengthen the search, and thus obtain the desired results.

Applications

Perhaps it is the most effective method used by users and Internet users, since they can have a series of options for different platforms. The main applications include the following:

Shazaam

This application born in 2008 is one of the most used thanks to its easy use, both for Android and iOS, as well as for Windows Phone.

The user records a fraction of the song, then the system reviews the database and returns a result. One of the most interesting aspects is that it not only recognizes the song, but can also show the lyrics, artist and year of the album.

Soundhound

For some Internet users, this application is similar to Shazaam, but with the difference that the user can hum the song. By doing so, Soundhound will identify the name of the particular part being searched for.

Lyrically

It works as a kind of search engine but more focused on the lyrics of the songs, since it allows the user to place a fragment or a complete stanza so that the application determines the name of the song or, at least, the closest references to the same.

Google Now

This Google application is a sample of the breadth of services provided by this company. Although there is already a search method through Google, this more direct and simple option is also available.

Just open the application while the song is playing, and then select an icon in the form of a musical note. Through this, the search for the song is carried out, and it can even redirect to Google Play Music.

WhoSampled

It can be considered that this application is perfect for music lovers, since it not only shows the name of the song but, after giving the result, it also indicates all the connections that exist on it.

From remixes and samples, the tool practically shows a catalog of options that appear on the same song.

TrackID

It also belongs to that group of applications that seeks to give extra value when searching for songs. Not only does it identify the piece of music, but it can also connect with the Spotify library to play the song in question, and even place it in the favorites list. At the moment it is only available for Android.

Musicid

Exclusive for iOS, this tool is capable of indicating the name of a song based on an extract of it, or fragments of those that may be playing around it.

In addition, the entire process is done quickly and for free, aspects that are undoubtedly attractive to users of this platform.

Bing

Although it is a search engine like Google, this method is particularly useful for Windows Phone users who do not want to download some other application on their device.

To carry out the search, open the program and the screen will display the icon of a musical note, which will be pressed while the song is playing. Shortly after, the name of the song and the artist who performs it will appear.
