You wake up in the morning, and while you prepare the coffee, you listen to some radio. At that moment, it sounds like a very nice song, but you do not know who sings it, its author, or even what it's called. To make matters worse, since it's a song in another language, you don't know exactly what the lyrics say. Anyone would say that you won't be able to recognize it. But if you have installed Tunatic, you will avoid that problem.

The truth is that Tunatic works similarly to the famous mobile application Shazam, trying to recognize the song playing at a given time to offer all kinds of information about it. This way, you will know who is playing the song in question, what year it dates from, if it is the author or if he is reversing the song, etc.

Functioning

Tunatic will allow you, once you have brought the computer's microphone close to the source of the sound, or by making the necessary configurations in case you are listening to the radio on the PC itself, to get all the details about that song. The software will analyze the sound information for a few seconds, and if it is available in its database, it will show you a report with everything it knows about that song.

Once you have access to those reports we mentioned, you can access a small arrow next to the data, and thanks to this, you can enter a page to purchase the music from the main platforms. Of course, you don't need to pay for it, but we understand that once they have availed themselves of Tunatic, many users search for tracks on Spotify or free apps.

An interesting detail about Tunatic that sets it apart from some of the more obsolete options within its field is that it can recognize the song in question even when you have already started it. This is not a minor aspect, taking into account that many times we only can bring the microphone closer or start the analysis when the song has been playing for a few seconds.

On the other hand, Tunatic hardly consumes system resources, which allows us to keep the program open in the background all the time without noticing that it affects the overall performance of our computer. This is important because you will only have to open it and not wait for it to run from scratch when you want to recognize a song, so you will save a good amount of time that otherwise would be wasted.

Beyond this, we said before that the information Tunatic could give you would depend on that song in its database. In this regard, you should know that this database keeps growing constantly, so you may find some new songs that are playing on the radio all day.

The user interface of Tunatic is minimalist since it barely offers more functions than the detection of the tracks, avoiding any configuration or options so that its intrusion in the day-to-day is the least possible.

Bear in mind

Although the general use of Tunatic is straightforward, you should not fail to take into account some issues before the execution of this program, such as the fact that you must have a microphone to capture the sound of the song or that you have to be connected to the Internet so you can download the data about the song. These aren't problematic requirements, but you shouldn't lose sight of them.

The Best

Among the main positive aspects of Tunatic, we have to point out its ease of use, in addition to the low system resources it consumes, something especially interesting about keeping it always open in the background. Beyond that, we liked that it can allow us to purchase songs from its service.

The worst

Although Tunatic does not have too many major weaknesses, the need for our PC to have a microphone will indeed make those users who do not have one directly look for alternatives. Its database is also smaller than that of Shazam, so if you have your mobile phone available, or an Android emulator on your PC, you will get better results with that program.

Rating
