Ask HN: Alternatives to Shazam? 2 points by toyg 6y ago ↗ HN In the last year Shazam has become very unreliable for me, particularly on classical music.Any alternatives out there...?
[–] aminozuur 6y ago ↗ Try asking Siri or Google Assistant “what song is this?” [–] Someone 6y ago ↗ 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.

[–] latexr 6y ago ↗ Can’t vouch for their accuracy on classical music, but SoundHound[1] and Midomi[2] might be worth a try.[1]: http://www.soundhound.com/soundhound[2]: https://www.midomi.com/
