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
It's funny how people are like "How to hell shazam didn't gone viral until apple" without realize that Shazam was used a lot in Europe during 2010 - 2015 era.
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)
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 study EE and just now taking Harmonic Analysis where we should study about the Fourier Transform in a few weeks. It's fascinating seeing the math come to life.
@@evermorecurious91that’s not an issue, just like you can search with google for a random phrase in the middle of an article. It has a lot of short fingerprints for each song, and one of them will likely be included in your recording.
The hash db is a mystery to me. From CS I see hashes as a way to create a random and unique checksum, which would look completely unrelated if just a single sound changes in the song. I don’t quite get how they can „fuzzy match“ those.
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
You can actually do this exact same feature on TH-cam music by going to search, as the song is playing press the 4 different sized lines and then it recognises your song.
this editing is insane! for a smaller channel, although I feel like a little sound effects, and a lil bit of music could add some shazam, but still really good.
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
Shazam has been pretty good in the past, but the new Pixel phones have the song search builtin with an offline song database. And let me tell you, this thing is hella fast, knows all weird remixes and hears songs playing miles away it feels like. Its awesome!
Google is one step ahead, we can just hymn the music with our mouth and its gives us prediction, while shazam needs to hear proper music, but it gives accurate result too
Damn, him saying "shazam has existed for longer than most of you have" and then me realizing it was released a month after I was born made me feel so old
A spectrogram is not a file format. A spectogram can be made of an audio file regardless of its format. Instead of sending electronic impulses to speakers the audio is visually represented in a graph. The term "audio frequency" also is not interchangable with "audio" itself. The audio shazam records would be completely useless if it was only the frequency and not the volume. On the graph at 1:41 frequency is displayed on the right, measured in Hz or kHz. You know... where it says frequency... Not on the left where you put a big red arrow. Decibel is a unit to measure sound pressure (volume) which is something completely different from a sound's frequency.
I used to think Shazam was simply recognizing the lyrics of songs and then searching for those in its database of song lyrics, but then I realized it also works for songs without any lyrics at all, so that quashed my theory. As for Shazam's ability to record the audio of a song in a noisy environment, I've been impressed with its ability to single out the song audio over against the other noises.
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
Shazam was one of the first big popular apps when the app store launched on the second iPhone. Saying Shazam gained popularity when Apple bought it in 2017 (note: they actually acquired Shazam in 2018) ignores an entire decade of Shazam's history as a hugely successful independent company.
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
I remember that in the late 2000s, Shazam was able to recognize the song even if you whistled or sang it yourself (if you weren't too bad at it). I don't think it works anymore though.
Shazam is pretty cool But Google song searches just objectively better It’s insane how you can hum to it and it will understand what song you’re trying to find
This is indeed true. I be finding brazilian songs that I hum to Google lmaoo i aint even Brazilian but it knows the songs almost always! That is if your “Play a song” is even there in the search though 😭
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
Mrwhostheboss would do more
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
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)
criminally underrated channel keep going
yeah
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
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
Here in Germany A LOT of people used it around 2010-2015 or so. Almost everyone i knew had it on their phone back then.
It's funny how people are like "How to hell shazam didn't gone viral until apple" without realize that Shazam was used a lot in Europe during 2010 - 2015 era.
The point to which shazam can recognize songs even with very loud background noises is still insane
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!
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)
Lol
lol! i remember when i worked there! it was so fun listening to rickrolls 24/7 and getting fed 1 liter of Ragu and a crust of bread for a full day.
@@danielthecake8617Ragu sauce 😂😂 haven’t heard that name in years, go-to homemade pita pizza sauce for after school meals 😂
Shazam doesn't recognize songs very well anymore, when it does a completely different song appear
You explaned that in 4 min 25 sec and without any unnecessary Information. Great Channel
This video is gonna blow up. Glad to have seen it already, and very informative!
you might be just right!

One doubt I had.. what if you miss recording the beginning of song,, hows does retrieval work then in. The hash table
I study EE and just now taking Harmonic Analysis where we should study about the Fourier Transform in a few weeks. It's fascinating seeing the math come to life.

ive met people who generate noise in very high frequencies

I always wondered how this works. Great video
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.
this video is so well made, so well explained, awesome
I'm Pretty Sure Shazam Was More Relevant & Popular Way Before Apple Even Got Interested To Invest On The APP & Purchase It
2013 ERA I Still Remember
it is pretty crazy that I had only THINKING about "how Shazam works" and 3 days after, TH-cam shows it to me.
You can actually do this exact same feature on TH-cam music by going to search, as the song is playing press the 4 different sized lines and then it recognises your song.
I have never seen someone try and explain something they, themselves don't understand, until I watched this video 😭😭
YOU ARE SO UNDERRATED AHHHHH I SUPPORT UU

've always thought that whoever coded Shazam must be some kind of wizard
Been using Shazam since about 2013, best discovery ever. So glad this video now exists to get some recognition of it
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
Best Video, which explain how the world work. Love it!
great content man, keep going 💯
most fascinating is the database that is so optimized to find it in seconds
great video, keep up the good work!
everyone knows that laughing in the corner of the room:
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

Sometimes when I am looking for a song it is not registered anywhere official so it won't be found.

I could literally die without knowing that Shazam wasn’t created by Apple before this video
The thing where you call a phone number to ask them to recognise a song reminded me of ZiT! from GTA IV
and all this happens in the matter of seconds
Did I just get Rickrolled?
maybe-
Wow, Shazam is oldest than a portion of internet users
Verizon had their own music identifier back in early 2000’s
I used it in 2013-14 for the fist time and as a kid I was just amazed.
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

this is most underrated software, I use it a lot.

Great job dude, I’d spend hours watching these 5mn videos
Shazam and Napster were once a powerful combination.
short, concise, to the point. good shit
Shazam was one of the first big popular apps when the app store launched on the second iPhone. Saying Shazam gained popularity when Apple bought it in 2017 (note: they actually acquired Shazam in 2018) ignores an entire decade of Shazam's history as a hugely successful independent company.
am not a loyal fan i just got here XD.
but the video is entertaining in a useful way so thumbs up bro
bro, whenever i go to my grandma's house, shazam keeps showing me pink floyd albums
Bruh, I Use For 1 Year Now, & It Recognized Almost 200+ Musics & Phonks That I Wanted, I Will Totally Be Grateful For It!

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?
wow this was really coool!!!1 watched til the end, liked and subbed!!!!
SoundHound is old af too and can recognize even your humming or whistling
I initially thought that Shazam had a very large database. A bit surprising to me!
it's actually so simple, yet so genius
Amazing how this was done without machine learning and A.I. assisted stuff that I assumed powered Shazam's reverse search.
I expected you to have more subs than just 470… Here’s one for you, I love this video!
I like testing if it can detect niche songs, and it does a pretty good job as long as it’s not completely unknown
0:22 That's not fair, that's literally 10 DAYS away from my birthday 😭
Cant even find a lost song 🙏😭
had no idea shazam started in 2002. thats impressive. i remember getting it for my ipod touch in like 2009
To think Shazam is nearly 10 whole years older than I am
I remember that in the late 2000s, Shazam was able to recognize the song even if you whistled or sang it yourself (if you weren't too bad at it). I don't think it works anymore though.
Now it make me even more curious on how our brain does it 😂
Using Shazam since 2017. Really an amazing app...
i really wish that shazam had the feature to upload your own audio file and then find the song from it
you tell the song, your phone gets beem boom shaaka baaka and the resuld appears
so technically if i could have access to shazam database i would find songs similar to my favorite songs in sound
It works by cross referencing music on its database
My mind is blown by the fact that this video is under 5 minutes long
Ok now how on mars does it work
I recently used it last year, also wow I didn't expect it to be there since 2002.
Omg I remember track ID for the sony phones back in 2000s too
Honestly it actually just doesn’t tell me the title. It just says “couldn’t recognise song”
Well it can recognizes the song even if you're playing with a wired earphones
The intro of the video sounds like a sponsor💀💀💀
