To search for songs on the internet without knowing or remembering the title and not even the artist or singer who wrote that music, you can use different search methods. One is to find the title of the song from the lyrics or some words that you remember.
Another more innovative method is to use the computer microphone and sing the song.
A third method, however, even more futuristic, is to play the musical notes as you remember them on a piano .
To recognize a song according to the notes played on the musical keyboard, simply access the Melody Catcher website , The internet Music Search Engine .
On the web application there is a piano to be played by pressing the keys with the mouse and, when you are satisfied and think you have played the right song, you should be able to find the title and author of the music .
The database, that is the list of songs that he can find, amazed me because it is quite large and there are also Italian music and many songs of any genre, from rock, to classic including pop and commercial.
The recognition of the notes of a music is based on an archive of Midi files thanks to which, by making an association and a matching, it is able to understand the similarities between the notes played and the real ones.
To try to listen to Midi files, you can type in the search field, the name of the singer or the musician and see how many results are obtained.
To find a title, you can try (if you don't know anything about how to write music) to play a piece using the piano available and you will notice that the site works well.
Surely those who know how to play really will find in this online application a very functional way to look for the name or artist of a song, more or less famous and tell me if it works as well as it seemed to me.
By pressing the Submit button, at the top, you can finally insert your Midi file to add it to the search database.
The piano is in Java so, if it does not appear, it means that you need to download the Java plugin for the browser while if you cannot hear anything there are problems with the Midi driver on the computer and, pressing the Setup button, you should solve it by only, otherwise, the audio drivers must be reinstalled.
