song analyzer

[somanyholes]

Hey All

Does anyone know of any software or online software that can analyze music and advise what the artist/song is? I know that media player etc can try to find information online, however the sound is part of .wmv file, any ideas on how to do this?

I suppose i could rip the sound out of the wmv and try again then, but have a feeling this won't lead to much. Have searched for the lyrics online and found nothing

To  my knowledge WMP matches the artist, title and album name data in the file against a database and doesn't actually identify the song from the music. As far as I know there is no service that does (other than one I hear of at a library up north where they have an answering machine you sing the song to and a team of people to match it manually...

What lyrics do you have? You never know if you post them you may get lucky here

Cheers,
Paul.

edit: fixed a typo

Isn't there a service called Shazam that you ring up, it "hears" the music, and apparently is accurate a good percentage of the time?

Yep - have a look  here

I remember reading about this. Given the problem that voice recognition has with my speaking voice, I'm not at all sure what it would make of my singing.

[Dangerjunkie]

Hopefully you can just hold your phone to the radio when the song is on

I never listen to the radio, Paul, except Radio 3.

Hey

Thanks all, I will have a look at the sites mentioned. I don't think theres much point adding it on here, it's a fairly modern tune, (no offense) I could add the video link on here, but the content would probably not be suitable, and no it's not po*n.

Thanks once again, will let u know how it goes

Thanks to Mr Danger i now know what the tune was, Karma!

I may be a stupid hoob, but how come Danger gets the karma, when it was my link he was talking about - and we're supposed to be mates as well 

[somanyholes]

hehe, it was a different link mate i daren't click on yours in case i got attacked by hoobs. Dangerous place for mice the internet.

i suppose i could give you a karma for looking, then again ......
