benkei Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I've heard of an app that when you whistle, hum, or play a section of a song to the iphone it recognises the song and tells you what it is... What is this app?! Are there different versions of it? If so, which is the best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 There are a few. Midomi is a popular one, as is Shazam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Pretty sure they are. They basically make their money by selling you the music you hum/sing/whistle/play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraGirlie Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 It will work when you play a song, but I don't think there is such an app that recognises a whistle/hum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 It will work when you play a song, but I don't think there is such an app that recognises a whistle/hum Shazam and midomi do IIRC. Midomi definitely does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Shazam is great, I use that. I listen to very obscure metal music and it has managed to tell me what some of that is so I'm suitably impressed. It doesn't have it all, but I didn't expect it to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
