Its a great app thay works 99% of the time. that other 1% is when it can figure out a song. I stress how rare that is. ( many times due to background noise ) but even then it picks up the speakers in department stores and restaurants most of the time. No apps are perfect but this has helps so much when you hear something you like but no idea what it is. this is like someone left the play list to that ultimate mix tape.

Great for me; I use SoundHound mainly to id tunes I hear on a restaurant sound track or wherever. Often the app doesn't seem to have much international data basing, ie: finding tunes from a French radio station, etc. Otherwise is easy to use and no annoying bells & whistles that other apps pile onto their repertoire.

Love this app! When I play a short part of a song it usually finds it and its lyrics. I often hear a part of a song on TV (you know the "I just gotta know what that song is" moment), and/or the lyrics too, and most often Sound Hound finds it. It's awesome! On a rare occasion it doesn't find them, but that's usually really new songs or not very common songs. I love that it stores my history, I just wish I could organize it or even alphabetize it or maybe even make playlists from my hearted songs.

What's new

Have you ever felt like you needed to add some personal thoughts to a song discovered with SoundHound? Well, now you can! We’ve added the ability to add tags, such as the mood the song brought on when you were listening to it or even notes that you may want to remember. Maybe a great song came on at your best friend's wedding, and a special moment happened that you don't want to forget; now you can create the memory for a lifetime.
