I came to a realisation today. I honestly don’t remember the last time I
have searched for a song name on the search engine. It’s amazing how you can
just use the app and identify the song in merely few seconds. Of course I’m
talking about Shazam(as I’m aware there are several alternatives, like
SoundHound for example). Sometimes all you need is a couple of sounds and you
already know that you like that particular tune. Imagine how it was when you
couldn’t use the app, or search for it in Google.
What is kinda funny though it’s that apparently Shazam became available
in 2002! Stanford graduate named Wang created software that could actually
distinguish music from all the other background noises by turning it to data. A
different purpose that Shazam apparently is used for is recognizing the future
hits, what songs will catch on. A pretty handy tool for music executives, I
would say!
This video explains it all:
You can find the whole article on Shazam and identifying the people's taste in music here:
Today I’m willing to share with you some of the tunes that I “shazamed”
while watching a TV series or hearing them on the radio or somewhere. Hope you enjoy it!
