Ask HN: Alternatives to Shazam?
2 points by toyg on July 25, 2020 | hide | past | favorite | 3 comments
In the last year Shazam has become very unreliable for me, particularly on classical music.

Any alternatives out there...?




Can’t vouch for their accuracy on classical music, but SoundHound[1] and Midomi[2] might be worth a try.

Try asking Siri or Google Assistant “what song is this?”


I wouldn’t bet on Siri doing better. Apple bought Shazam in December 2017 (https://www.cnbc.com/2017/12/11/apple-confirms-shazam-deal-b...), completing the deal in 2018 (https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2018/09/apple-acquires-shazam...), so Siri likely uses Shazam under the hood.
