Pros & Cons:

Pros

  • Identify music by allow your phone to listen to it; you sing it, hum it, type it for voice search it!
  • Get a wealth of information about tagged artists: bio, related songs, videos, purchase song options, lyrics and more

Cons

  • Freebie on 5 listen, sing or hum tags a month… but that’s why you fork over the $5 bucks for an awesome app right?!?

Features:

SoundHound is an awesome app, very much like Shazam, which can listen to and identify music; however SoundHound goes a step farther by allowing you to identify songs by singing it, humming the tune, typing or speaking into the phone! Available for both Android and iPhone, once a song is tagged you get access to a lot of info about the artist including bio, related songs, and videos, option to buy the song with link to Amazon MP3 store, social sharing options, and lyrics if available.

The free version of the app gives you up to 5 tags a month when you allow it to listen, you sing or hum for identification but typing in or voice searching the song title are unlimited. Opting for the paid version, SoundHound ∞ (Infinity), is a one time free of $4.99 with unlimited tagging and no ads.

Usefulness:

SoundHound features are not only useful for when you don’t know that song and want to find out what it is but have serious WOW factor! Plus there are instances where you know the tune or can sing some of the lyrics but just can’t think of the song or artist… SoundHound can identify pretty accurately by that.

Ease of Use:

Easy… either click the “Tap Here” button to let the app listen to the music, you sing the lyrics, hum it, type it or say the song title.

Frequently Used:

If you’re using the freebie you’ll be capped at 5 tags a month for listen, sing and hum identification. Premium buyers get unlimited tagging.

Interface:

Very slick and organized user interface!

    Not really a hound, more of a half-grown pup. This is certainly not for bluegrass fans, nor I suspect for anyone over 50. Remember, us geezers have money to spend, and none of it goes for Beyonce or Bieber. It would not ID even the most common Bill Monroe tunes.

      Bill Monroe died 15 years ago at age 85. It’s a shame that Sound Hound can’t identify him. But… I am over 50, and have tried Sound Hound on a lot of obscure music, and it gets it right almost all of the time.
