I use sound hound, it has the same thing.

THANK YOU for the Sound Hound tip; I’d somehow been ignorant of its existence. Haven’t really put it through its paces yet but the UI and featureset look great. Never expected to say this but I might be done w/ Shazam!

Awesome, thanks for the tip.

Soundhound also recognizes songs by humming. (Shazam can't)

Wow, Thanks for point this out and I have never heard of Soundhound before. ( Talk about Discovery problems )

There are many times when a song suddenly pops up into your head, and you cant record the exact lyrics, the may likely be a few words that is wrong so Google doesn't help, and humming it in Shazam never worked. I had always thought my voice was sounded too bad.

Is it as good as Shazam at finding songs? I remember trying it early and not being impressed, but it was very brief so my sample size was too small.

I use both regularly. SoundHound is my go to by default but I use Shazam as a backup. Shazam is more successful normally but I like SoundHound more for whatever reason.

Switched to SoundHound a long time ago and have found it equally as good as Shazam. I have every song I "discover" automatically added to a Spotify playlist so I can check it out later.

I didn't find much difference in recognition capabilities between Shazam, SoundHound, and built-in recognition on Windows Phones.

I love this too — when it works. But I’ve had a long, recent and ongoing stretch of Shazam failing to identify songs.

It would be quite a joy if there were a way to curate/aggregate in-store music playlists and then serve them such that visitors could search by store.
