Editor's Thought

Click the button, record some beats, get a result – the result is the name of the song and the artist, along with links to everything from where you can purchase the song to how many different records that song has been on. Artist info, YouTube search, similar artists, tour dates – lots of great stuff!

Editor Review

The greatest, simplest, prettiest app for music discovery is now free. Just hit the record button and either hum the tune you’re thinking of or record from the radio or whatever you’ve got playing and you’ll get a result that’s more often than not the song you were looking for. We’ve wanted this app before apps were apps.
