YouTube's Latest Innovation: Introducing Humming AI for Song Discovery

YouTube Music introduces AI-powered song search feature, enabling users to find songs by humming or singing. Expected to offer seamless music discovery experience once widely available.

Addressing the "Stuck Song" Dilemma

• Have you ever had a song stuck in your head but couldn't remember the name or lyrics? YouTube Music users now have a solution for this common problem.

AI-Powered Song Search

• YouTube Music introduces a new feature backed by AI technology that allows users to find songs by simply humming or singing, even if they don't know the exact lyrics.

• This feature has been available in the Google app on Android for over four years and was integrated into the official YouTube app last year. Now, it's making its debut in the YouTube Music app for Android.

Spotting the Feature

• A report by Source has officially spotted the humming search feature in the YouTube Music application for Android (version 7.02 or higher).

• Despite efforts to locate the feature on multiple devices with the latest version of the YouTube Music app, it wasn't found. However, given its integration into the YouTube and Google apps, it's likely to become available to all users soon.

Using the Feature

• To access the song search feature, navigate to the top right corner of the YouTube Music app and click on the search icon.

• Look for a new wave-like icon next to the microphone icon. Clicking on this icon takes you to a new page where you can "Play, sing, or hum a song."

• The AI algorithm is designed to recognize songs based on hums or singing, providing accurate results in most cases.

Expected Results

• While the feature wasn't tested on the YouTube Music app, previous experiences with the YouTube and Google apps suggest that the AI algorithm should effectively identify the desired song.

• Upon successful identification, YouTube Music displays a full-page result with cover art, song title, artist, album, year, and options to save it offline or to a playlist.

Conclusion

YouTube Music's new AI-powered song search feature offers a convenient solution for users struggling to recall songs by their name or lyrics. As this feature becomes widely available, users can expect a seamless experience in discovering and enjoying music on the platform.
