YouTube Music users can now easily find that elusive song stuck in their heads with a new feature that allows them to search by humming or singing, even without knowing the exact lyrics. This innovative AI-backed functionality has been available on the Google app for over four years and was recently integrated into the official YouTube app. Reports have confirmed that the feature is now making its way to the YouTube Music app for Android, promising a seamless music discovery experience for users.
To access the song search feature on YouTube Music, users can simply navigate to the search icon in the top right corner of the app. A new wave-like icon next to the microphone symbol indicates the humming or singing search option. By clicking on this icon, users are prompted to Play, sing, or hum a song, triggering the AI algorithm to work its magic in identifying the song based on the user’s vocal input.
The AI algorithm behind this feature has proven to be highly effective in previous iterations, such as in the Google app and YouTube. When a song is successfully recognized, YouTube Music displays a comprehensive result page with the cover art, song title, artist, album, year, and options to save the song offline or to a playlist.
While some users may not see the feature in their YouTube Music app just yet, it is likely a matter of time before it becomes universally available. The seamless integration of AI technology into music discovery not only enhances user experience but also showcases the innovative capabilities of YouTube Music in catering to the needs of music enthusiasts.
