Soundhound...HOW!?!

Post by Nate »

Suze showed me her little free "app" on her iPhone; "Soundhound". She says, "watch this" and puts the phone next to the boombox - it reads "Baby Lulu" by Stereolab off "Sound Dust"; then she starts reading the lyrics as the song is playing - I never wanted to even pay attention to the lyrics!

So, I figured I'd try and "trump" the little thing and play an old Napalm Death CD; it recognized a snip of "Musclehead" from "From Enslavement to Obliteration" extended LP!

What? How the HELL?????

Seriously though, of course not every single song ever recorded in the history of the human race is going to be in their database.

I use it from time to time, but I've never bothered to look -- there might to be a way to suggest a better match?

It's probably magic or something else unholy. We should burn it and pray we didn't anger the gods. Best to also bleed to death a cow to be on the safe side.

It worked for NanaNanaNanaNanaNanaNana, but only gave me the lyrics for the second half of the album.

This thing's weird.

I don't know, but I had this app on my phone ever since I got my HTC Desire S when it came out. For people with bad lyrical recognition syndrome such as I am, this comes in handy to find out the name of that darn song being played repeatedly over the air
This is my signature. It's so unique, nobody else has it.
