Ever wondered how Shazam does what you can't do? Remember the song? Yeah. I didnt either. But I still made a video about it lol Music by youtube themselves and Epidemic Sound Enjoy! (and maybe please suscrib)
he literally copied a youtuber named "This." and likely planning to make more content on his style. regardless i like you way of doing things and i hope you make it big on youtube (cuz i couldnt...atleast for now)
Its the Fourier Transform. Physics here. I did this project for a class once. Basically the Fourier Transform decomposes any complex sound (which is an agglomeration of diferent frequencies) and now you are able to "see" each frequency individually. Then the spectogram is a 3D graphic representation of the song (complex sound) by intensity of each frequency and by time. Of course for each song, there is a unique spectogram. The last step is to compare the spectogram in the hash database mentioned in the video and find the one that matches yours.
I think I already used it back then to find the title of a song I heard in a store, my circle is already using it. It was probably 2013 or 2014, the song was Young Blood by The Naked and Famous
I don't get how it calculates a hash out of a spectrogram, which contains noise, and uses that to find the right song, which has been stored in the database using a hash without noise. Probably some magic hash algorithm created by math wizards.
Thanks to fourier transforms, (the spectogram) you get all the frequencies picked up by the mic, so if the noise is not overwhelming the sound of the song youre trying to record, then shazam will just compare the strongest frequencies with the songs it has in the hash, not minding the noise since it pales in conparison to the frequencies of the song
incorrect, they have a bunch of kids they kidnapped from the temu factories that are fed 1 meal a day and pee in bottles who also know every song in existence and they are the ones behind the song recognition ability that shazam has (I used to work there trust I know fr)
google identifies a song much more accurately and faster, giving you similar songs too.. and its been around for a couple of years now. my first choice is google, second is shazam and third is aha music
@@pbilk you can click on speak to search on normal google on your phone (not chrome) and the will be a button "search for a song". there is also a widget called 'sound search' by google, u can try if any of this works on pc peace
Crazy how a good chunk of songs in my playlist is because I hard a song, i liked it, then Shazam. From shazam, I get to discover more songs from that artist
idk if shazam got popular after apple cuz me and a lot of people I know have been using it for ages even before apple bought it and I didnt even know they bought it until now vid is crazy tho thx for the info
Eh, maybe in certain regions but Shazam was already pretty popular around the early 2010s when smartphones started getting more and more popular. I am not sure if it was simply not on the Apple store and that is why Apple users were not aware of it, but Apple certainly did not make it explode in popularity from scratch.
Especially if it's meant only for particular audiences, e.g. producers, remixers, and music artists. Fortunately, they started to identify this kind of song since circa 2021 Production music, music meant to be remixed, might throw you songs that remixed them. For example: A Letter 2 My Unborn by Tupac on Shazam and some Arabic music on the Google app music identifier. I discovered the production sample in the original form aka no voices and whatsoever in an unfinished RPG Maker game "The Legend of the Philosopher's Stone" with the filename "Dungeon nine.mp3". I don't know how the game creator knew the production sample Production music are meant to be production secret, I guess. "Your Favorite Martian" seemed to intentionally hide his production music library file names when he talked about a Fortnite song sounds the same to his
Woah never knew it was around since 2002, I started using Shazam for the first time back in late 2016 after hearing about it in some SilvkiShow life hack video and i still use it to this day.
I used Shazam before Apple took it over, but I used it on iPhone. But it is indeed a great thing, although it is more limited than other products, that can recognise humming and singing
For Shazam to recognize, you would have to have the original music to be turned on. However new tech from Google can actually recognize the song that you sing, (and in some cases even without words!). This literally feels like a magic tho.
lmao someone notify me when this video gets to 1M views please 😭
ok 👍👍
You're so obnoxious
ON IT.✊🏻🪖
Sameeee
come back, it hit 2m
It is pretty crazy that shazam has existed since 2002
RIGHT? thats insane
yes, that is mind boggling! :D
crazy?
i was crazy once
they locked me in a room
I've always thought that whoever coded Shazam must be some kind of wizard
throw a hashmap
one quick and dirty solution is hashing along with calculating jaccard scores
Same, until I saw this video
this video is just satire because everyone know the guy who coded it is a wizard and Shazam is just a bunch of magic
I mean the guy(s) who coded this are indeed wizards to think of a solution like that
"How many rickrolls can you fit in 4 minutes?"
"Yes"
yes
yes
yes
yes
Yes
I didn’t realize that it was a small channel until the video ended. Underrated
i didnt even realize that it wasnt pewdiepie until 20 secs in
So true me too
@@ASlickNamedPimpback
It just amazes me that Shazam is around that long already. Love your content, keep up that style and personality

criminally underrated channel keep going

One doubt I had.. what if you miss recording the beginning of song,, hows does retrieval work then in. The hash table
How to hell shazam didn't gone viral until apple like this is the most useful thing ever
Not sure but I used to use Shazam long before apple bought it. It was a well known app in my country.
In Europe from my experience it’s fine reaaaly famous from about 2010-2012

ive met people who generate noise in very high frequencies

"magic hash algorithm created by math wizards"
That's every hash algorithm.
It’s something I been needing for longest time to find songs, then I realized something like this exists 6months ago
I’ve been wondering this for literal years, thank you so much!

Lol
This video is gonna blow up. Glad to have seen it already, and very informative!
you might be just right!
You explaned that in 4 min 25 sec and without any unnecessary Information. Great Channel
this video is so well made, so well explained, awesome

What's Google's tool called?
@@pbilk you can click on speak to search on normal google on your phone (not chrome) and the will be a button "search for a song".
there is also a widget called 'sound search' by google, u can try if any of this works on pc
peace
Google Assistant
@@pbilkI think he's talking about the "Now Playing" feature which is actually pretty handy and works very well
Google claims it's done offline, so how does it do it? Does it store all hashes locally?
TH-cam algorithm has been good recently with suggesting me small channels with good content. Keep up the good work!
give this guy his credit for being a funny presenter explaining random topics that pops up in our covos often, following from the middel east.
Back in my days I used google music to recognize my songs, I remember musicing the ratatouille dvd on a road trip on my dad's old phone. 👴
Best Video, which explain how the world work. Love it!
great video, keep up the good work!
Crazy how a good chunk of songs in my playlist is because I hard a song, i liked it, then Shazam. From shazam, I get to discover more songs from that artist
I always wondered how this works. Great video
Been using Shazam since about 2013, best discovery ever. So glad this video now exists to get some recognition of it
YOU ARE SO UNDERRATED AHHHHH I SUPPORT UU
The point to which shazam can recognize songs even with very loud background noises is still insane
great content man, keep going 💯
it is pretty crazy that I had only THINKING about "how Shazam works" and 3 days after, TH-cam shows it to me.
short, concise, to the point. good shit
Reminds me of this. Great content!
wow this was really coool!!!1 watched til the end, liked and subbed!!!!
Always thought about this, thanks
Nice explation you deserve more subscribers!
This shit is FIRE, keep pushing out videos like these, please 😭😭
Wonderful!
Bruh, I Use For 1 Year Now, & It Recognized Almost 200+ Musics & Phonks That I Wanted, I Will Totally Be Grateful For It!
Very well explained.
most fascinating is the database that is so optimized to find it in seconds
This man explain in fully just as calm AF❤
😂
Using Shazam since 2017. Really an amazing app...
Here before 1M views
Great job dude, I’d spend hours watching these 5mn videos
this is most underrated software, I use it a lot.
am not a loyal fan i just got here XD.
but the video is entertaining in a useful way so thumbs up bro
Great Informative video at two AM
Nice explanation
it's actually so simple, yet so genius
I expected you to have more subs than just 470… Here’s one for you, I love this video!
idk if shazam got popular after apple cuz me and a lot of people I know have been using it for ages even before apple bought it and I didnt even know they bought it until now vid is crazy tho thx for the info
10/10 Content Bro

thx man for unblurring that song title at the end, I was gonna go insane not recognizing the song title because of the blur thing on it
had no idea shazam started in 2002. thats impressive. i remember getting it for my ipod touch in like 2009
Signal theory and Digital Signal Processing is one of the craziest domains of math and computer science. So much stuff that is just mind-blowing.
Sometimes when I am looking for a song it is not registered anywhere official so it won't be found.
amazing tech and awesome video
this is so goooood
Answer to title: most of the time it doesn't
Especially if it's meant only for particular audiences, e.g. producers, remixers, and music artists. Fortunately, they started to identify this kind of song since circa 2021

I don't know how the game creator knew the production sample
Production music are meant to be production secret, I guess. "Your Favorite Martian" seemed to intentionally hide his production music library file names when he talked about a Fortnite song sounds the same to his
I've only had it not work once and it was cause the song was really unpopular, what are you going on about
I found that googles voice assistant can search for songs too and it looks on youtube instead of a separate database so it finds more random songs too
Few of the time it doesn't work, most of the time it works
GIVE THIS MAN SUBSCRIBERS
Nice video keep going!
Woah never knew it was around since 2002, I started using Shazam for the first time back in late 2016 after hearing about it in some SilvkiShow life hack video and i still use it to this day.
thanks man
and all this happens in the matter of seconds
Amazing vid
I recently used it last year, also wow I didn't expect it to be there since 2002.
Bro really threw a hasmap at it and it worked
I knew hash was involved 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍, thanks that's all i wanted to know.
The real question is how can Shazam not understand some of the songs I make him discover?
Its because they're not in it's library

Great explanation. Hash DB makes sense

so good
Verizon had their own music identifier back in early 2000’s
I used Shazam before Apple took it over, but I used it on iPhone. But it is indeed a great thing, although it is more limited than other products, that can recognise humming and singing
Shazam and Napster were once a powerful combination.
Very interesting, thanks
Great content!

which song lmao

only 2.31k subs?? bro i thought u had more ur video is better than most people with 100k+
I used Shazam when I was still using my Blackberry Gemini, and it worked out well👍
great videos ....subbed
thank u so much!
Good video bro
I’ve been using Shazam since like 2010.
I feel like my brain is too limited to understand this
dude rickrolled us all the time of the video
great video brother
SoundHound is old af too and can recognize even your humming or whistling
Did I just get Rickrolled?
maybe-
I'm Pretty Sure Shazam Was More Relevant & Popular Way Before Apple Even Got Interested To Invest On The APP & Purchase It

I was one of the early adopters of Shazam back in 2008-09
Thats cool

I like testing if it can detect niche songs, and it does a pretty good job as long as it’s not completely unknown
You’re doing good bro..
