It happens that you hear a song on the radio in the morning and sing it to yourself all day. It's good if the song is understandable and you understand the words, you can find it by the text. But even if the song is remembered only as a melody, it is quite possible to find out its name and artist.
What if you really want to know the artist of the song in order to find it and add it to your collection?
If there are words or a part of a song
If you have made out at least a few words from the song, or, even better, have memorized a piece of text, type in the words in any search engine. Having found the name of the song, it will not be difficult to find out the artist, the same search engines on the Internet will help.
You can find an artist by song title on social networks by clicking on the "My audio recordings" button and entering it in the search bar.
The song played on the radio can be found by going to the radio station's website. As a rule, the rating of the most popular songs is published there. Chances are good to find the right one, knowing its name.
If the song is from a movie, enter its title in the search engine, adding the prefix OST. After receiving a list of songs that were used in the film, listen to them in order until you find the one you want. Also on the Internet you can find special services, for example, "my-hit.org", which contains many films, including new items, with soundtracks, photographs and other useful information.
The midomi.com service allows you to hum a song if you have a microphone. And the service "audiotag.info" will help you find a song and an artist, if you have a fragment of a song.
If none of the methods give the desired result, arrange a quiz using social networks and the knowledge of your friends. Add a snippet of the song to your page asking for hints about who is singing it.
If only the motive of the song is known
The song that sounded on the radio, as a rule, will be repeated more than once during the day. You can turn on this radio station in the background and wait for the desired song to sound. On many official sites of radio stations there is a creeping line on which the artist and the name of the song currently playing are written.
Having heard the song again, you can use the "Music Expert" service, which is provided by mobile operators. For example, for Megafon subscribers, you need to dial 0665, bring the phone to the speaker and hold it for 5-10 seconds. In the response message, you will receive the title and name of the song artist.
On the service "musipedia.org" you can play a melody or beat off the rhythm of a song you like. The program will process the sound and give out matches.
If you remember the video clip, type in the main points of the plot in the search engine, adding the word "clip" at the end. For example, "Car, sunset, road clip". You can search special forums where members help each other find out the name and artist of a song from its video.
