We live in an age of evolving music. As Bob Marley said, when it hits, you feel no pain. Of course, he meant physical pain and not the one that sad songs can give people. Have you ever been in a situation where you came across an unknown song? You like how the song sounds but you have no idea how to check which one it is. There are a couple of ways to know what music it is. In fact, you can even figure out by which artist it is, and which album it belongs to. Now, in 2021, identifying a song is not difficult at all, especially using your smartphone. All it requires is that you be in the vicinity of the song.

That said, let us dive into the various ways you can identify songs in your surroundings. Rather than asking around or checking from friends whether they have heard it, all you have to do is hold your phone up so it has a clear sound coming to it. The lyrics should be able to be deciphered by the phone or it will return a nil result.
