Some of life’s more frustrating moments involve the times when you have something on the tip of your tongue and can’t say it out aloud. Or in the case of a forgotten song, let’s say that it’s on the edge of the ears. Hair wrenching time or not, it helps to know that the web is out there to help solve this problem too.
SHAZAM provides guidance and tools to make financial institutions more successful. We're committed to providing cost-effective products and services that help you compete effectively and meet your business goals. Our products and services. Now that uncertainty is over thanks to Shazam, the music identification and recognition app developed for iPhone and Android, and that we can now also use on our Windows PC. And although we may think that the natural environment for this software definitely has to be its mobile app version, the truth is that it can also be quite useful on a PC.
Thanks to voice processing and voice recognition technologies, you can get the actual song by just humming the tune or lyrics.

Play on with these three applications and save your grey cells some trouble.
Midomi
Midomi is a neat well-designed website and a unique search engine that’s powered by your voice. The voice search takes up just a corner because Midomi also has a large community of music lovers behind it. Midomi’s ultimate goal is to build the most comprehensive database of searchable music, part of it with user contributions.
Search hits throw up relevant matches along with song videos and links to online retail shops to purchase the song if you want. Midomi also has an advanced search engine which lets you sing in any language and in the style of any musical genre. Of course, you can do a normal text search for a particular song too if you know any detail about it. Midomi also gives you a ‘studio’ to sing your favorite songs and upload it to the site. All user uploaded songs also help to enhance the search engine’s database.
Shazam
Shazam is a song identifier app (and also works like a tagging app) you can carry along in your smartphone. Shazam is supported on iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch, Android, Blackberry, Nokia, and Windows Phone 7. With Shazam you can simply hold your phone up to the song to identify the track, buy it, check out the videos, and share it with friends. Unlike Midomi however, you have to play the track for Shazam to identify it with a tag – humming won’t cut it. Shazam has free and premium features, but even the free version comes well recommended for identifying little known songs by tags.
The Tag Chart is one place you can discover music and purchase tracks if you want from online stores like iTunes. Song lyrics and album reviews add to your musical experience too.

Musipedia
Musipedia is a melody search engine. As the site explains (to search a tune) – probably of the three, Musipedia gives you the best search combo to find a song if you can’t place it by name. You can use the available online tools like the Flash or Java based piano; you can draw notes with your mouse; whistle a tune into the mic; search by tapping the rhythm with the keyboard; use the Parson’s code; or simply use old-fashioned text search.
The collection of tunes, melodies, and musical themes is freely editable by anyone. The site welcomes contributions to build-up the database.
Searching for a song by its tune or melody probably is the best bet to locate one when all you have to rely on is a foggy memory. Which of the three would you pick as the preferred search tool when you can’t place a missing song? But then, why not use all three!

We have all heard of Shazam App by now, but we know it as an app for mobile phones. Many a times users are looking for Online Shazam or in other words they are looking for the same functionality that is offered by the app called online Shazam. You will run into many sites that will say that they can identify songs for you, but I am yet to see something working.
There’s a lot of ways to take advantage of the technology that exists today. So – of course there’s a way! With just a few simple steps, you can bring this awesome functionality to life even if you’d rather use a computer than a mobile device.
Is Online Shazam impossible?
Well, if you don’t mind me being a bit cheesy then I’ll say “the word impossible itself says I’M Possible”. This is true in this case and that means you can have online Shazam. But developers of Shazam want people to download their app and hence they have not made it possible to use Shazam online.
Being a tech-savvy person I know that it is not difficult. They even have an app for Mac (discussed in next section) so they can definitely create an app for PC as well. However, this will cut into their app downloads and hence they don’t want that.
In order to make Online Shazam possible, they need to simply access your mic to record your input, then compare it with their own database. If an entry is found they can simply return the identified song. There is no big deal in doing that. But they have not done it yet and I doubt if they are planning to do that.
Online Shazam alternatives?
Talking about alternatives to Online Shazam, the first thing that comes to mind is Shazam for computers.
You can get Shazam app for your computer and instead of looking for Shazam online you can avail the same functionality on your PC.
If you are an Apple fanboi and use a mac even then you are good to go. Shazam has an app on the Mac Store for Mac users so you don’t even need to look for Online Shazam. You may be using any of the Mac computers, including Macbooks, Macbook Pro, Macbook Air or even iMac or MacMini this app will work for you. You can download Shazam on the Apple Mac Store.
Midomi – Online Shazam with little less accuracy
Another alternative would come from the next big music app Soundcloud. Did you know it was known as Midomi earlier? Well, if you go to Midomi’s site you can hum or sing a tune and it will find you the song you are humming.
This is not as accurate as Shazam to identify a song, but it is better than nothing at all. Also, during our trial we noticed that if you sing for about half a minute the accuracy goes up significantly. So give it a try if you are looking to identify that tune stuck in your head.
That’s all people. That’s what we had for you on that topic. If you have a question or need or have any more information on Online Shazam please do leave a comment. It is always appreciated.
