On many occasions you may find yourself with the need or desire to identify a song that you are listening to in an advertisement, in a bar or in any other place, in order to know its song. To do so, you should know that there are both mobile and computer applications, so that regardless of where you are, you can identify the songs.
Apps and services to identify songs
Next we are going to talk about the main applications that you can use to identify songs, the most common being the following:
Shazam
Shazam It is one of the best and one of the most popular and known to be able to recognize music songs, and it belongs to Apple after it decided to buy it in 2017. Despite the purchase, the app is still available for both Android and Apple.
All you have to do is download the application from the app store and open the application and, once inside it, you just have to click on the button Escuchar, so that Shazam will identify the music even if there is background noise, and once it has recognized it will point directly to Apple Music, to listen to it. In addition, it also allows you to open the song directly in Spotify, from where you can add it to a playlist or share it with other people.
Siri and Google Assistant
However, it must be borne in mind that there is a way not to need an additional application, and that is that both Crab as Google Assistant allows us to use the recognition system to know what song is playing. It will be enough to ask "what is playing", although the options it will offer will not be as complete or as many options as third-party applications, so this option is very important to take into account.
However, if this is not enough for you and you want to have a more complete app, you should take into account the following applications, which are perfect alternatives to Shazam, each with its own characteristics and peculiarities.

However, this app has a great advantage, that it also recognizes songs when humming them. In this way, if you have a song in your mind that you want to identify, you can hum it and it is possible that even then it can be identified in an appropriate way, which is a point to take into account and that is a clear difference with other services similar ones that do not offer this possibility.
Midori
Midori took the step to be called SoundHound in 2010, but while this second brand is the one used in mobile applications, its official website continues online and with its previous name. In it, you will use the PC microphone to hum, whistle or make the browser listen to a fragment of the song that you want to identify.
You will have to play the melody and identify it for at least 10 seconds until the web hears it and will offer the results. Although it is more than 10 years since Midori became SoundHound, the web maintains a database that is quite up-to-date.

This application has a free version and a Premium application of three dollars, which can be used to save lyrics offline or remove ads. It is an alternative to the previous ones, although Shazam and SoundHound are the best options of all those mentioned.
