Tunatic is a nifty little app that listens on your microphone and connects to a server to identify the song that it is listening to. While this might be useful for the times when you’re hearing a song on the radio or the TV and can’t make out what the song name or artist is, it can also become mildly addictive, as you throw at it more and more songs to see which ones it recognizes and which ones it doesn’t.
I have to admit it’s pretty good at guessing most songs, which makes it even more addictive, even though it failed to recognize a classic like Jethro Tull’s “Aqualung”.
I wonder what the business model is. It’s true that when a song is recognized, you can click on the little arrow at the right to open a page with some affiliate links, but I’m not sure this will be enough to cover bandwidth costs if it ever becomes successful.
In any case, kudos to Sylvain Demongeot. Tunatic is a cool idea that has been brilliantly executed.
Via Torsten.
