Beatfind – Musical recognition

Beatfind is musical identification software which allows in a few seconds to recognize music in the process of listening and obtaining information on the title of the song and the artist.

Description

Like Shazam or Soundhoud, Beatfind – Musical Recognition is a mobile application for Android, iPhone and iPad smartphone and tablet that allows you to recognize the title and interpreter of a song in seconds.

You wonder what is the title of the song that is currently going on the radio, in the store, or during an evening ? Launch the Beatfind application on your mobile and a single click, all the information relating to the song being listened. Using the microphone of your smartphone, the application makes a comparison with its database of several million pieces and quickly identifies it. The interface is very easy to use and intuitive.

Once the song has been identified, users will have the opportunity to consult the other songs from the album from which the song is taken, read the artist’s biography, discover other titles from this same artist or listen to an extract. Direct links to musical streaming platforms like Spotify or Deezer allow you to listen to the song in its entirety, but also to view the musical clip on YouTube.

A sharing system on social networks invites you to introduce your friends to this title, or even directly search on the Internet. The system also retains a history of songs previously identified.

And to put a little fun in an evening, activate the celebration mode with flashlight that synchronizes on the tempo of music for a Delive Deliring Effect.

However, this application lacks some features, such as the possibility of creating an account to put songs in favorites, the recommendations of other artists or similar titles, or to offer a classification of the most popular titles.

Soundhound, an improved shazam that recognizes a hummed song

The Soundhound application allows you to find the title and the interpreter of a song from the original soundtrack, just like Shazam. But this time, there are several functions that make it a more complete identification and research tool.

No need to stand near a speaker to identify a song, with Soundhound, you can simply sing, whistle or hum an air to get the information.

Music research and discovery

You want to have info on an artist or a song? Soundhound allows you to quickly obtain it with these different research and identification options.

The app is able to identify a sound extract from an original recording and also recognizes sung, whistled or hummed tunes. All research is then in the form of a history to facilitate rereading.

The application also has a section intended for musical discovery where we find, among other things, the stars of the week, discoveries near us and around the world, or a section that presents an artist daily that celebrates the birthday very day.

When a piece is identified, you can listen to an extract, get the words or even share it on Facebook.

In addition, a little like Shazam, we can connect Soundhound to our Spotify or Apple Music account, which records all our research in a specific folder.

The app also offers several options, including access to the tour calendar and a list of similar artists to discover.

The search tool also makes it possible to find results by entering the name of an artist or a musical piece.

The application is free, both for iOS and Android users, provided you endure advertisements here and there. A paid version without ad, Soundhound ∞, is available at a cost of 5.$ 99.
