Hi all.
I’ve tried singing to Siri; she/she does not respond very well to sung tunes!
Cheers,
Mike

Hi.
Siri uses the same database that Shazam does, you say "name that tune" and
Siri will listen to the tune you are currently playing. If it hears a
recognised tune, it will give you the option to tag it if the app is
installed, or download the free version of the Shazam app if not.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi Clive.
You can try any of those phrases.
You will often get a stupid response from Siri like "That is one of my
favourites" or "The song is Paranoid by Black Sabbath, but don't ask me to
sing it", etc.
Once Siri tells you the song and artist, you can then ask Siri what album it
came from, etc.
I have yet to find a song it doesn't recognise within 5 seconds and I don't
listen to pop...
Regards.
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
Because I didn't know you could do that. What's the question you would ask
Siri: "Name That Tune", Identify this", "What's this song", or whatever?
Shazam does just about all of this too, so it's six and two threes. However,
I'd like to give the Siri option a try.
Best,
Clive

Hi Clive.
If using an iPhone, why not just use Siri? Just hold the home key in and
then ask Siri to tell you what the song is. Siri has never failed to
identify a song to date and can identify a song that is playing extremely
quietly. I've been really surprised when it has identified cover versions
that are so similar to the original and even in a few seconds of
instrumental only music.
The other advantage with Siri is that it will then automatically place that
song in your iTunes app and you can view it, sample it and purchase it from
there by selecting the Siri tab.
Regards.
Kevin

Hi,
I love this app. as someone said elsewhere, it is free and accessible. I
have Shazam on my IPhone and it's a cinch there.
While the track you want to play is within earshot:
1. Double tap on the Shazam Icon.
2. Double tap on 'Touch To Shazam'.
3. Wait a few seconds and voiceover will say: 'Done'. All the details you
want will be on your screen, including title and artist plus a link to play
the track in full.
Sometimes though, if you 'Touch to Shazam', and you get a message telling
you to move your device nearer to the sound source, it can mean simply that
the track isn't on the Shazam database.
It's great fun this, and sometimes, when encoding an item from Vinyl, if
I've forgotten the title and artist, it's been very handy for filling in the
blanks.
Am I right in thinking it was free, then came at a price, and is free again.
Best,
Clive

I need to use ShazHi List,
I have a 5th gen Ipod touch with the latest updates installed.
Is the Shazam, the music discovery app accessible and is it costly to buy?
All help appreciated.
Cheers
