Ask HN: Alternatives to Shazam?

2 pointstoyg3 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.
