FAQ

  • How do I use the Music Recognition feature?
    The Music Recognition feature button can be found in the "Search" page, and is located on the top right corner of the search page. After entering Music Recognition page, you may select either "Music Recognition" or "Humming Recognition", move your phone closer to the audio source and tap the microphone icon in the middle of the screen to begin identification.
  • What's the difference between "Music Recognition" and "Humming Recognition"?
    *Music Recognition: This feature is used when you want to find out the song title for a song or melody you hear on the radio, in the store, or on TV. Simply put your phone closer to the audio source to identify the song.​
    *Humming recognition: This feature is used when you only remember the approximate tempo and melody. Try your best to hum the tune and the feature will try its best to identify the song for you.
  • How does Music Recognition work?
    This feature compares the unique acoustic fingerprint of each song with KKBOX database of million songs to identify the tune that you are looking for. Hence, no artist names, songs, or album titles are required to find that favorite tune.
  • Why does the Humming Recognition feature fail to match any songs?
    Humming Recognition will compare against melody, pitch, and rhythm. Low sound volume, environmental noise, or short humming duration (minimum 6 seconds or longer) could all lead to failed matching. It is recommended that you get closer to the microphone when using this feature. Another possible reason is that the music you wish to identify has not been licensed. We will work our best to expand our music database.​​​​
  • Why does the Music Recognition feature fail to match any songs?
    Music Recognition only identifies official released and licensed songs. It could lead to failed matching if the music that you are identifying is a cover, live, or re-arranged version. In addition, low sound volume and environmental noise may also result in failure. It is recommended that you get closer to the audio source when using the feature.​​
  • Does the desktop version support Music Recognition feature?
    Music Recognition feature is currently not available on the desktop version. Please use Android or iOS phones or tablets, or Windows Phone to use this feature.​​​​​​
