Identifying a bit of music
 

I have a music excerpt from a radio show I streamed that I want to identify. My friends didn't recognize it. One of them recommended audiotag.info, which couldn't ID it either. Can you recommend others?

Post it on youtube and ask what it is. I'll assume no words to the music. Isn't there some way on a phone to record and it should find it?

if you have no additional info except the sound itself, how could you possibly identify it programmatically?
post it here, i'll have a listen. maybe i know it.

Have you used Shazzam? It's an Android app that identifies music you make it "listen".

I don't understand your question, or it surprises me: a program can characterize sounds in such a way as to compare them. Check out audiotag.info.

LQ allows text & picture attachments only.

Hmmmm... I lack a smart phone: is there an Android emulator for Linux?

A search for "android emulator linux" turns up many results.

I have never used one, though.

The android emulator is the long way around. Post it on youtube and let us know the link or some other file share place.

i just tried that with a 1 minute snippet of an old song of a not-so-well-known artist, stripped of all id tags.
it worked!
