YouTube Music on Android is revolutionizing the way users discover their favorite songs with its new ‘hum to search’ feature. The app’s latest update introduces a functionality that allows you to identify songs by humming, singing, or even playing a recorded tune. This innovative feature combines the best of Shazam and a knowledgeable friend who can recognize a song from just a few notes.
The hum-to-search feature is easily accessible within the YouTube Music app on Android. Simply tap on the search button in the upper right corner of the app, and you’ll notice a new waveform icon next to the microphone symbol. This icon signifies the ability to hum, sing, or play a tune for the app to analyze and identify. The AI-powered search tool quickly matches your vocal rendition with the vast library of songs on YouTube Music.
In tests conducted by tech journalists, the hum-to-search feature proved to be remarkably efficient at recognizing songs, offering users a seamless experience in discovering new music. Whether you’re humming an English pop track or a Bollywood hit, YouTube Music’s AI algorithm can accurately identify and display detailed information about the song, including the album cover, artist, and release year.
While humming to search for songs isn’t entirely new, with Google Search having introduced a similar feature in 2020, its integration into YouTube Music adds a whole new dimension to the music discovery process. Gone are the days of struggling to recall a song based on a few vague lyrics or melodies. With the hum-to-search feature, users can effortlessly navigate through their favorite tunes and build playlists with newfound tracks.
The rollout of the hum-to-search feature is currently underway for Android users with the latest app version, with iOS users expected to receive the update soon. This functionality promises to enhance the overall music discovery experience on YouTube Music, offering users a fun and intuitive way to identify songs effortlessly. Say goodbye to the frustration of forgotten tunes and embrace the magic of humming to unlock a world of musical possibilities on YouTube Music’s Android app.
