At some point, the best way to find out the name of a music you've listened to on the radio, in a store, or anywhere was to ask your friend, or if it's a song, and try to pick up its lyrics and search for it. But now, thanks to the phenomenon "Shazam", it is possible to know the name of any song and many other details about it, just by listening to your smartphone. The idea here is that Shazam listens - with the phone's microphone - to a sample of unknown music and then compares it with a huge database of millions of songs until it finds a match, and for a large percentage it will actually recognize the music and display its name. But what if I wanted such a thing in a computer? Unfortunately Shazam is not available for Windows, however there is an equivalent alternative let us review.

| How to find out the name of the song from the sound on the computer |
AHA Music according to our experience is the best Shazam alternative you can find on PC. The site helps you to easily know the name and details of any song or music without installing any programs on the computer, but from the web browser you are using. The site offers two ways to find out the name of the unknown song, the first way is by listening to a sample of the clip and then comparing it to its huge database - just like Shazam does. The second method is singing the song, humming the melody, or humming into the microphone, similar to Google's Hum to Search tool for identifying songs.
I remember we previously reviewed a way to find out the name of the song from YouTube easily, and indeed we relied for the purpose of this topic on adding AHA Music, as the site provides an add-on for Chrome and Microsoft Edge browsers that enables you to identify the music that plays in the background while watching videos on YouTube, Facebook, and even Netflix and others. Therefore, in general, it is an ideal site for anyone who wants to learn about unknown songs that they hear here and there using their laptop or computer instead of Shazam.
Once you open the site [link attached above], you will see a clean interface that is completely devoid of ads, as the site makes profits through donations. You can start taking advantage of the site by clicking on the microphone button below the "Identify Songs by Recording" section or, if you want, you can install the appropriate extension depending on the web browser you are using on the device.
Since you are using a site that needs to hear a sample of the song to find out its name, you will see a pop-up message from the browser asking to allow the site to use the microphone. Certainly if you use a laptop, it is most likely with a built-in microphone, but if you use a desktop computer, you can just connect your EarPhone to your phone and take advantage of the built-in microphone to do the job.
After AHA Music obtains permission to access the microphone, press the mic button again under "Identify Songs by Recording" and here the site will count down 10 seconds, which is the time during which it listens to a sample of the unknown song or music. This song can be in a cafe, hotel, or on TV, and it can also be part of a scene in a movie or video that you watch on the computer. No matter the source of the music or song, let AHA Music listen to the desired sample for 10 seconds.
Once done, the site displays the title or song name and the Main Artist or Artist. Now all you have to do is copy the name and search for it on the Internet to find a source where you can listen to the entire song and maybe save it to your device. Note that AHA Music provides a "View detail" button. After identifying the song, one click on it takes you to a new page that contains more details about the song as well as multiple official resources to listen to and download the full song.
