I tried Tunatic and it found both of the songs I was looking for. One song was contained in a video (unrelated to the song), and the other was embedded in a web page.

The software connects to remote servers which I guess have a database of songs and music. Once the match is found, you can click on the results and it takes you to a page with iTunes, lyrics, and ringtone links.

I had no problem with my microphone, I just held it up to my computer's speakers.

Best results are found when you start the search halfway through the song playing.

By the way, make sure your firewall lets Tunatic connect out.

Great software!

Let me guess; You're working for Sylvain Demongeot, right?

Nope. I didn't even know who Sylvain was until I Googled it.

I was looking for a Shazam type program that works on PCs and I found this thread.

If I was working for whoever, why would I wait like 7 months to post on here? I'd be on it like white on rice.

And just because my post is gives a positive review of the software, and I don't write l1k3 a 14 y34r old n00b, this does not mean I'm a plant. Plus isn't Tunatic freeware anyway?

And just to let you know, Tunatic gave me misses when I first used it, meaning it gave me wrong results. It seems to work best when you do the Tunatic search about halfway through the song playing, not from the beginning. So there you go, I'm pointing out that the software isn't perfect. Plants don't point out bugs, correct?

I'm just giving my props to Tunatic because it helped me find the songs I was looking for.

And if you don't believe me I don't care and you suck balls!!! LOL

Got a question, my mic is broken on my laptop, so is there an app that listens to the output of the speakers?

I think that makes sense.

You should be able to set the recording input as such in Windows. If you're running Windows 7, open Sound in Control Panel, and look under the Recording tab.

I can't select my speakers as the input. I didn't mention I meant the inbuilt speakers of my laptop.

You could try this web-based service instead. You upload a small audio clip and it identifies the song for you. No need for recording input from your sound card.

Many sound cards have to option to record whatever is playing out of the speakers, but not all sound cards have this option.

Here's the answer

Show Disabled Devices

Right click in the Sound Recording Options window and select Show Disabled Devices.

Enable Stereo Mix

Select the Stereo Mix device and Enable it. Click on Set as Default Device.

Set Tunatic to Primary Sound Capture Driver and you'll see the frequencies waving.

Hi,

The simple solution is to have a jack-jack wire. One jack will enter into the mic place and on the output source.

That's all. Just play the song and the Tunatic software. :)

You'll have high fidelity and no other noises.

Also sneeze solution it's very ok, but jos for Windows 7. For XP you can do as I said.

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      By ShadeOfBlue · Posted

      There is a default resolution setting in Settings > Display that can be changed with a click. You can also change the settings on a per-game basis. No CLI needed. Also, Steam has countless games that are not "[perpetual] alpha/beta games", so no need for the straw man. Plus you can use other stores as well. And console games (e.g. PS5) cost a fortune, which itself more than negates the price subsidy on the system, unless you plan on exclusively playing 1 or 2 games. It's true that you shouldn't buy a system that doesn't support the game(s) you want to play, but I think that's kinda obvious, and applies to every console as well as PC. I don't game in the living room and have no need of a Steam Machine, but there is a clear market segment that would find it useful.

      By Copernic · Posted

RSS Guard currently supports Czech, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian. RSS Guard will never depend on other services - this includes online news aggregators like Feedly, The Old Reader and others. RSS Guard is developed on top of the Qt library and it supports these operating systems: Windows GNU/Linux OS/2 (eComStation) Mac OS X xBSD (possibly) Android (possibly) other platforms supported by Qt The core features of RSS Guard are: support for online feed synchronization via plugins, Tiny Tiny RSS (from RSS Guard 3.0.0). multiplatform, support for all feed formats, simplicity, import/export of feeds to/from OPML 2.0, downloader with own tab and support for up to 6 parallel downloads, message filter with regular expressions, feed metadata fetching including icons, simple Adblock functionality, customized popup notifications, Google-based auto-completion for internal web browser location bar, ability to cleanup internal message database with various options, enhanced feed auto-updating with separate time intervals, multiple data backend support, SQLite (in-memory DBs too), MySQL. is able to specify target database by its name (MySQL backend), “portable” mode support with clever auto-detection, feed categorization, drap-n-drop for feed list, automatic checking for updates, ability to discover existing feeds on websites, full support of podcasts (both RSS & ATOM), ability to backup/restore database or settings, fully-featured recycle bin, printing of messages and any web pages, can be fully controlled via keyboard, feed authentication (Digest-MD5, BASIC, NTLM-2), handles tons of messages & feeds, sweet look & feel, fully adjustable toolbars (changeable buttons and style), ability to check for updates on all platforms + self-updating on Windows, hideable main menu, toolbars and list headers, KFeanza-based default icon theme + ability to create your own icon themes, fully skinnable user interface + ability to create your own skins, “newspaper” view, plenty of skins, support for "feed://" URI scheme, ability to hide list of feeds/categories, open-source development model based on GNU GPL license, version 3, tabbed interface, integrated web browser with adjustable behavior + external browser support, internal web browser mouse gestures support, desktop integration via tray icon, localizations to some languages, Qt library is the only dependency, open-source development model and friendly author waiting for your feedback, no ads, no hidden costs. RSS Guard 5.2.0 changelog: Added: Feed auto-fetch can now also be delayed while Feral GameMode is active on Linux and startup auto-fetch is skipped when GameMode is already active. (#2265) WebEngine builds can now use RSS Guard generated proxy auto-config (PAC) rules so article/web browsing follows per-account and per-feed proxy settings more closely. (#2273) Generated PAC rules now also cover related subdomains and use Public Suffix List data, so feeds such as feeds.bbc.co.uk can also proxy resources from images.bbc.co.uk. (#2273) Standard feeds can now define extra proxy domains, useful when article images, stylesheets or other page resources are loaded from a CDN or another domain that should use the same feed proxy. (#2273) RSS Guard now asks for proxy credentials when a WebEngine page needs proxy authentication and can fill credentials from the current feed proxy when available. (#2273) Network settings again include an option to ignore all cookies, which clears stored cookies and prevents new cookies from being accepted. Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now individually ignore cookies while downloading feed data. Stored cookies can now be deleted from the Tools menu. Custom skin colors can now override the feed list article count color separately from feed titles, including a separate highlighted color. (#2275) Settings dialog can now search across available settings and highlight matching controls. (#1754) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now optionally be reported as broken when they are valid but contain no articles. (#2039) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now override the application-wide feed connection timeout per feed. (#1023) Tray icon can now use a custom background color and unread-count text color, with an option to reuse the generated icon as the application icon. (#1973) Support for more benevolent parsing of Gemlog entries (#2295). Article list can now show when an article was received by RSS Guard. (#947) Feed deep discovery now actually scrapes all links found in the website and checks if they are feeds or not. This greatly enhances usability of the deep discovery mode and discovers many more feeds than before. (#2306) Search boxes now show a small dot when the feed or article list is hiding some items because of active filtering. (#873) Articles now have a shortcut-assignable action to open the homepage of the feed they belong to. (#2060) Fixed: Parallel feed updates no longer crash when multiple update results are processed at the same time. (64cf521) Links in WebEngine articles opened from feeds such as Kill the Newsletter now open correctly instead of being swallowed by the embedded page. (#2272) Relative article URLs resolution was kinda broken. (#2282) Clicking article URL did not work when the URL had "fragment" set. (#2293) The default proxy setting now uses Qt/system default proxy behavior instead of forcing no proxy. (e0263ad) WebEngine article loading now keeps the current feed context, so feed-specific proxy credentials remain available while the article page loads.
