What are some good alternatives to Shazam?
Best Answer
Whenever I hear a song and I want to know the name of it, I use SoundHound on my iphone. So far it has identified all of the songs I've searched. Even if for some reason I don't have network access, it will store the search and you can send it to their servers once connectivity is restored.
By the way, SoundHound and Midomi are the same thing. Midomi changed its name to SoundHound.
Don't know if there are really major differences that set one far apart from the other.
One of the bigger differentiators is that Soundhound claims to recoginze songs that are hummed and/or sung by the user.
From a purely opinion oriented view, I've had better success with Soundhound at identifying songs than Shazam - but both do the job pretty well. Soundhound also seems to be quicker at returning results for me than Shazam. Again, that's just my own experience and I've, by no means, done exhaustive testing between the two.
Shazam seems to have better search but Soundhound can search by lyrics.
