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)

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.

@evermorecurious91 Ай бұрын

One doubt I had.. what if you miss recording the beginning of song,, hows does retrieval work then in. The hash table

@ScorpioX1618 4 күн бұрын

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.

@Kqrit. Ай бұрын

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)

@RO_CAD_BLOX 26 күн бұрын

@Neosublimation 2 ай бұрын

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.

@iamdoofus319 2 ай бұрын

i agree lmao

@guypog7185 2 ай бұрын

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

Answer to title: most of the time it doesn't

@tripthongUwU Ай бұрын

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

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.

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.

@StuartGelin Ай бұрын

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.
