Location: south east Michigan | I could not think of the name of song so I asked the guy next to me at work. He didn't know either.
All I knew was one line from the chorus.
So.. out from the other office comes Mike The Tech Guy.
He pulls his tele-phone out of his pocket.
Puts it up to my face.
Tells me to say the line from the song.
bink-bink bink...
There the song & author is on the screen with multiple links to click on.
Now I'm a sci-fi kinda guy so this should not have been a big deal, but it was.
I have been im-pressed all day.
I was just about to come here to post the question to youz guys.
Sorry... you have been re-placed! |

So if y'all know if there is a website that will do that, Please direct me.
Personally I don't own a cell phone... I think that they are pretentious.
I also don't wear a wristwatch... same reason. Just An Ole Hippie... |

. You want the technology a "smart phone" offers but, not the platform it comes in? |

Location: closely held secret | I use my cell phone all day. It's required for my job. So I guess it's pretentious to have one of those, too.
...oh, look at the time. Gotta get to work. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Hey to be fair, I'm not a huge fan of wrist watches either. They leave that tan line and make it look like your arm is dirty. If I didn't have a responsibility to be at certain places at certain times I don't think I would have one either.
Come to think of it, why do you need a wrist watch when you can just look at your phone to see what time it is? Duh. |

I have a job When I had a Job, I had a Company cellphone.
It has the time on its display.
Even when I had a company cellphone, some days I did not even use it.
I know what my job is... Talking about it ain't gonna get it done.
When I am working, it is time to go home when you Finish The Job.
Depending on what you are doing, a wristwatch can get your arm ripped off!
Rings can cause you to lose fingers.
But I do think that App that identifies songs is really cool.
I also think that 'Guitar strings' app is really cool.
I am not gonna buy a cell phone just to get them.
Sometimes you can Google a line out of a song and find the song.
But nowhere near as dependable as that phone thing.
Which is why I asked if there is an online version of that app....
For us neanderthals who still only use their phones to talk. |

Location: NJ | The program is called Shazzam(sp?).
I would assume it analyzes a specific succession of frequencies (like th'melody line) contained within a certain time frame & thgen compares them to a database until finds a "match" (like a section of a fingerprint).
It often has a problems matching "jazz versions" of a popular song as th'jazz artist may have a tendancy to "stray off th'path" of the melody line.
We use it at work here all th'time . . . |

Location: Tennessee | Shazam. Killer iPhone app. But that one only works with recorded music, and brings back the performer name also (and a link to buy and download the song from iTunes). Shazam doesn't work with just saying the lyrics. There's an app called TuneWiki that will do that for you. |
