Shazam is an application that can identify music based on a short sample played using the microphone on the device. [2] It was created by the British company Shazam Entertainment, based in London, and has been owned by Apple since 2018. The software is available for Android, macOS, iOS, Wear OS, watchOS and as a Google Chrome extension.
Tunatic is a freeware music identification program developed by Sylvain Demongeot for Windows and Mac OS.. The software analyzes a song by recording it via microphone or just by playing it through the sound card, and then it sends the data online to its database where it searches for a match.
Shazam can identify prerecorded music being broadcast from any source, such as a radio, television, cinema or music in a club, provided that the background noise level is not high enough to prevent an acoustic fingerprint being taken, and that the song is present in the software's database.
The latter can identify short snippets of audio (a few seconds taken from a recording), even if it is transmitted over a phone connection. Shazam uses Audio Fingerprinting for that, a technique that makes it possible to identify recordings. Musipedia, on the other hand, can identify pieces of music that contain a given melody.
