music identification software

There seems to be loads of freeware out there for OSX but can anyone recommend one for me? I’m after one that has the option to identify music being played on the laptop with no need for a microphone (obviously internet connection will be required.

Thanks in advance

spose it all depends on what sort of music you’re trying to identify.

shazam most deffinately. it gets most everything but obscure remixes…

sound hound picks a lot up that shazam doesn’t

i know they’re on android as well… i only mentioned iOS as the op was asking about OSX - and mac users normally have iphones. its just one of those things!

Just tried out Soundhoud - man that’s cool. Does figure out quite a lot…can’t believe I have had my iPhone for like half a year or so without ever testing this.

Sorry for late reply. I cant seem to install shazam and soundhound seems to be iphone only with apple products. I want it for my laptop so say i play something on the internet my laptop can identify. I dont have an iphone even tho I have an apple laptop… guess Im one of the odd ones out when it comes to apple products! Gimme a nokia any day! :smiley:
