Last year, final released a song identification service which costs about $1.25 per use. Here's how the service works:

  • let's say you're in your car listening to the radio and wants to identify a song is currently playing
  • you dial the special home number your carrier provides
  • you hold your cell phone to the speaker for about 15 to 20 seconds
  • then you hang up
A couple of minutes later, your carrier will send you a text message with the name of the song and the artist. This is a pretty cool feature, except why should you have to pay for it when you can get it for free.

Just go to this site: http://audiotag.info

Upload a short clip of the song in question (can be in MP3 or wave format). Or as a second option enter the URL to a video that contains that song. And the system will automatically identify it and provide the singer and song name.

I tested it with an Andre Bocelli song I recorded on my cell phone while it was playing on the radio.

After uploading the song, I have to prove I was a human

And then it correctly identified the singer and song name

Most cell phones these days, come with a built-in notetaking function. So this trick should be easy for most people to use.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Good lead Edward. Thanks!
I remember there was another one a few years ago that you'd go to and tap the tune into the mic and it would try to tell you what the tune was. As I recall, it didn't work too well for me. Keith Moon I am not.

It works pretty well. I tested the site with 12 different sound clips I recorded from the radio and it identified 11 of them accurately. It missed the last one but that was my fault since my sound clip was less than 15 seconds.
