Typical situation: suddenly a song starts to play, but no one can tell us the title or who sings it... Fortunately, nowadays you can use apps to detect music.

Therefore, to help you understand more about the apps to detect music, I prepared today's article on the subject. Interested in finding out more? So follow me now!

5 best apps to detect music

1. Shazam

It is the first application to identify music that was launched on the market and, therefore, it is certainly the best known and, at the same time, the most downloaded. It allows us to identify the song being played in seconds with just a tap on the screen. 

In addition to recognizing the song and indicating an artist and album, it allows you to share the song, listen to it on Apple Music or Spotify (among others), see the song's music videos, lyrics and much more. 

It has a free version and an ad-free paid version for iOS and Android.

2. SoundHound

Are you listening to a song and want to know the title? Also, can you hum the song? With this app, quite similar to Shazam, you will not only be able to identify a song that is playing, but you will also be able to sing a song and SoundHound will reveal its name to you, while you are reading it. 

Perhaps this is the most notable feature of this app, but not the only one, as you will also be able to watch the lyrics live, watch their videos, share the song or even buy it. 

Like the previous app, it has a free version and an ad-free paid version on iOS and Android.

3. WhoSampled

For those who want to take it a step further, I present the WhoSampled app. It's the only app that discovers the “DNA” of music and lets you explore the connections in your music collection. 

It allows you to capture a song as it is playing and digitize its catalog. It's an essential tool for discovering and exploring music, whether you like hip hop, electronic music, or any other genre. 

4. TrackID

This app is exclusive to Android. With TrackID, you can delve even deeper into the world of music and read artist bios, watch music videos, check charts, and more. 

In addition to identifying the song being played, you can connect TrackID to Spotify and listen to the identified songs or even add them directly to your Spotify playlist, in addition to downloading them. 

It also has an offline mode that allows you to capture the track you are listening to and identify it when you have an Internet connection.

5. Music Finder: Identify Songs

In this case, it is an Android-exclusive application. It is used to identify the music playing around you. 

See your favorite album covers, add personal notes to find out why and where you identified that song, buy it, and more. It has a new and modern user interface and you can download it for free from the Play Store.
