SoundHound app is one of the best alternatives to Shazam available on both Android and iPhone. It can listen, identify and then play the full song that is playing in your surroundings. It identifies live versions and in the noisy background better than Shazam. The app doesn’t fail to work even when you sing in babbling sound. It also supports commands like “OK Hound, play – Far away by Nickelback“. Not only that but it also allows you to browse most popular and trending songs. You can learn about latest releases, new popular artist, their photos, other albums and even their birthdays using this app. Link: Android/iOS
2. Musixmatch
It is the perfect app for you if you don’t want to waste space on a music player and Shazam at the same time because it works as a music player as well as song identifier. As soon as it identifies the song the lyrics of the songs are also shown on the screen. Apart from playing and identifying the songs, it has a ‘floating lyrics’ feature. By turning on this feature you can get the lyrics on top of any music video you play online on Youtube, Play Music, Spotify etc. Link: Android/iOS
3. Beatfind – Music Recognition / Visualizer
Beatfind is a very simple app without any additional features and complexity like other apps. If you are looking to just identify a song very fast then this app is for you. It works in a minimal way and gives the option on one corner to listen to the same song on Spotify, Deezer or Youtube. The app also has the history section which shows all the searched songs directly from the Home screen. This app is available only on Android. Link: Android
4. Music Identifier
If you use Shazam only to identify the song and feel that you are forced to use lots of memory for just one feature, then this is the app for you. It is only 7.7 MB in size and also doesn’t show any ads. Music Identifier recognizes the song in a jiffy with the information related to the song. You can look also look at your search history. Apart from this, it has no additional features. Link: Android Also Read: Groove Music vs Spotify: Who Wins?
