As a rule, the program is not included in the basic set of applications for smartphones. Therefore, you have to download it from Google Play separately.

After which the application will produce a result with a link to it in the Google Play store.

Judging by the feedback from users, a music recognition program does a very good job of setting tasks and identifies compositions that are difficult to read, with noise and noise. Unlike the above applications, this utility provides only basic information: name, album and year of release. Search and selection of additional content, alas, is not provided.

TrackID

After recording, the program will issue all available information from the database. The size of the latter is quite impressive and can be compared with Yandex.Music. There is one caveat - more likely to get results when searching for English-language compositions. The program does not define rare and little-known Russian-speaking performers such as "Buckwheat" or "Trill Pilla". But the application will quickly find all the tunes in English and French, even little-known ones. It is also worth noting that the work of the program has almost no effect on system resources. Therefore, it can be launched on any, even the oldest gadget. The only and basic requirement is support for the Android platform. Alas, the above-described utilities, alas, cannot boast of similar system requirements.

Users leave mostly positive reviews about this music recognition program. Fans of foreign music are completely satisfied with the effectiveness of the application, admirers of rare domestic bands and artists complain about the modest service database. In any case, if the song is in the utility archive, then it is determined quite quickly, even in the presence of extraneous noise and interference in the sound.
