SoundHound - Music Discovery

Find the song in front of you

SoundHound - Music Discovery identifies music you hear around you, making it useful when a track is playing in a café, on the radio or somewhere else without a visible title. It also suits the more frustrating case: a tune you remember but cannot name. You can sing or hum part of the melody and use the result as a starting point for discovery.

More than a one-tap search

After identifying a track, SoundHound gives you a way to continue exploring the artist and song. Lyrics help you follow along with what you have found, while listening and playlist connections make it easier to move from recognition to regular listening. The app also includes charts and discovery tools for finding music beyond the track you started with.

Built for quick music discovery

The main experience is centred on a prominent search button, so identifying a song does not require working through a complicated menu. Voice controls provide another way to start searches and interact with music, which can be handy when your phone is out of reach. A history of recognised songs helps you return to discoveries later instead of relying on memory.

Who it suits

SoundHound is a practical choice for listeners who regularly hear unfamiliar music or often get melodies stuck in their heads. Its humming and singing recognition gives it a broader use than apps that only analyse recorded audio. The free app is widely used, with 100,000,000+ installs and a 3.85/5 rating from more than 923,000 reviews. It is developed by SoundHound Inc. and sits in the Music & Audio category.
