There's good news for anyone suffering from worms who has an Android phone: the “hum to search” feature that YouTube Music was experimenting with is now rolling out as a full feature in the Android app. It's kind of like Shazam for worms, although instead of having to listen to the actual track to recognize it, the feature listens to your version and tries to figure out which one it is based on your interpretation, whether humming or singing. .
It's a fair bet that the feature will do a better job of recognizing people like Billie Eilish. Lunch that Impalement with pitchfork by Cannibal Corpse. But if you can do a reasonable job of humming, singing, or playing the melody, then the app should be able to tell you what the song is and allow you to play it and/or add it to your music library as if it were one of the best songs. streaming services.
How to use Hum to search
Using the feature is as simple as the song search feature that was added to YouTube Music in March. All you need to do is tap the search icon, which is identified by the magnifying glass icon in the top right corner. You now have an additional icon next to the familiar microphone that is for voice search. The new icon is a sound wave, and that's the one you want here. Tap that and the YouTube Music app will ask you to hum, sing, or play the song you're trying to identify. It will then compare your version to its huge music database.
This isn't a new feature: it's been around since 2020 as a Google experiment in English on iOS and in 20 different languages on Android, and it was a key feature of the Soundhound music service for several years before Google decided to do something similar. . But Google clearly thinks the feature is now good enough to implement as part of the standard app instead of labeling it as an experiment.
The new feature appears to be a first for Android, although an iOS version shouldn't be far behind. It also appears to be multilingual: Android Authority has tested it in multiple languages with good results every time. If it hasn't arrived on your Android phone yet, make sure you have the latest version of the app as it appears to be available starting with version 7.02.
