About SoundHound - Music Discovery

Hey, what song is that? SoundHound makes it simple to identify music playing around you. Whether you’re in the car or out and about — open the app, hit the big orange SoundHound button, let your phone listen for a few seconds, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s playing! It's been called pure magic — and with 300M+ downloads and billions of songs discovered — we tend to agree.

SoundHound comes equipped with “Hey SoundHound…”, an incredibly powerful way to interact with the app using your voice. “Hey SoundHound…” can help you navigate the app, activate the orange button, and playback songs hands-free. Simply say ‘Hey SoundHound...’ from any screen and say a command!

Discovering new music is only half the fun of SoundHound. We’re music lovers too, so we’ve created an incredible experience for you to relive your discoveries with our music player. Connect your Apple Music or Spotify account to listen, build playlists, explore music across genres, and find new favorites - all with real-time, karaoke-style lyrics using LiveLyrics®.

We had to remove support for Spotify playback due to a fundamental change in how we could connect to their player. The experience left to our users was less than ideal and we determined it would be best to remove playback for the time being. You will still be able to access your Spotify playlists and be able to auto add your music discoveries to a playlist!

With this release, we are adding support for iOS 16! Additionally, we added 3 new lock screen widgets and a new Shared with You section for any SoundHound playlists your friends have sent from their Apple device. Now go out there and listen to your favorite discoveries using SoundHound!

Have you ever discovered a song with SoundHound and felt like you needed to add some personal thoughts to it? Well, now you can! We’ve added the ability to add tags, such as the mood the song brought on when you were listening to it, or even some notes that you may want to remember in the future. Maybe a great song came on at your best friend's wedding and a special moment happened that you don't want to forget; now you can remember that memory each time you listen to that track.
