SoundHound is a good solution for those users interested in knowing which song is playing around them. In order to achieve this task, you have to launch the application and tap on the big orange button. A small audio sample will be taken using the built-in microphone of your Android device. You can even hum a song if you want to.
As soon as a match is established, inside the interface you can easily see the title of the song, artist, cover art, lyrics, etc. The nice thing about this piece of software is that it comes with its own built-in audio player and you don't have to rely on third party solutions for listening detected songs. Another great feature is the ability to connect your Spotify account as long as you provide the required credentials.
You can create playlists, find new music and explore content from multiple genres. In case you don't have a Spotify subscription, SoundHound comes in your help by providing an incorporated player for YouTube. All songs discovered using this handy application are kept inside your Music Map for later reference. Some users might use this app on multiple devices and they can synchronize history with a free account on this platform.
