The YouTube Music app on Android is about to get more interesting features, like combining Shazam with a “best friend”. Now, you just need to press the search button, select the new sound wave icon (next to the microphone icon) and hum, sing, whistle a piece of music, the application will automatically recognize what the song is.
This feature works quite well! Even when testing with pre-recorded tracks, the app was still able to accurately identify the song with surprising speed. It promises to be a great alternative to Shazam.
However, the ability to recognize human voices (hēng – sing, hum) is sometimes still not perfect. In testing, there were a few cases where the application got it wrong:
- One time the application mistakenly recognized the song “Fumblin’ With the Blues” by Tom Waits as another song.
- Another time, the app recognized “Dead” by They Might Be Giants as a song by another band.
- Even when I whistled Meat Loaf’s “Bat Out of Hell,” the app only recognized Reckless Love, another Finnish rock group.
Despite its flaws, overall, this feature works quite quickly, maybe even faster than the virtual assistant Google Assistant, which has had similar features many years ago. According to rumors, the search feature by humming the melody is also about to appear on the iOS version of YouTube Music, but there is currently no official information.
