When it comes to music recognition, I believe many people will first think of the music recognition app Shazam. It is also built into the iPhone and can be started directly through Siri to listen to and recognize music. Now there is a music identification APP “NowPlaying” with more powerful functions than Shazam. It is free of charge for in-app purchases. It provides a richer music identification method and uses various methods to query the songs, albums, and artist information you are listening to.
NowPlaying Music Recognition APP Limited Free & Lifetime Free Tutorial
When you hear some good songs in a coffee shop or while shopping, you can use music identification functions like Shazam to identify the music by “listening”. Now there is the NowPlaying APP with more powerful functions that I can recommend to you. This APP has also been selected by Apple as a must-download music APP. This time I want to share with you the recent limited-free in-app purchase event, so that you can use this APP for free for life after receiving it. At the same time, I want to show you what powerful functions it has to identify music.
After going to the App Store to download NowPlaying, you need to allow access to Apple Music, your music and video activities, and your media library when you open it for the first time, so that you can connect recognized music to Apple Music in the future.
Then when you start it for the first time, the in-app purchase screen will be displayed. “Once” is a one-time purchase, and the other is a subscription fee. At present, “Once” should still show a fee of $0.00, but it is still recommended that you click “Show All Plans” below to confirm the plan. If you choose “Lifetime” and it is $0.00/once, it means that choosing this plan will be free for life. Go back to the original purchase page and click “Purchase Gold” for certification.
At this time, the App Store payment screen will be displayed, but the amount is 0 yuan. The last screen displayed means that the lifetime license of NowPlaying APP has been obtained.
NowPlaying’s music recognition functions are quite rich. You can choose the most convenient recognition method according to the current scene. The following is a brief introduction to several commonly used music recognition and query functions of NowPlaying.
Listen to identify music
This function is similar to how you usually use Shazam, which is to first allow NowPlaying to access the microphone, and then click the “Listen” button to listen to the music with the microphone and analyze which song it is.
Generally speaking, NowPlaying’s recognition speed and accuracy in listening to music are very good. Richer than Shazam, NowPlaying can display super rich content such as song title, album name, artist, music release date, music type, album information, artist introduction, number of versions of the song, supported streaming music formats, etc.
Of course, it also includes lyrics and album tracks. You can also listen to sections of the song to confirm whether the song is correct. You can also share the music and add it to favorites, Shazam, or open it from Apple Music.
Music database query
The music query function can use keywords such as song names, album names, singers, etc. to further query related information such as songs, albums, singers, etc. It is very suitable for situations where you want to query the background of songs and all albums of singers. Of course, the queried songs can also be directly linked to Apple Music for playback.
Play video and identify music
NowPlaying can also directly identify the music track and other information of the video by playing the video. First, open a video to play, and then click the “Start Song Display” button on the “Display” page of NowPlaying. At this time, the song title, artist, album and other information in the video will be identified.
This function is recommended to be used in some YouTube videos where background music is inserted into songs or video content shot at concerts. After all, even if the singer himself sings, sometimes the accompaniment and arrangement methods will be somewhat different from the original songs. However, using NowPlaying, you can quickly and accurately find the corresponding song information.
Scan barcode to identify album information
When we include some physical albums, it is difficult to search for complete information about the album on Google due to the complexity of the foreign language. Even now, many people no longer have CD players in their homes that can play these music albums. If you want to query and listen to this album at this time, you can directly scan the album’s barcode through the NowPlaying APP to find the complete information about the album and related streaming music platforms.
Modify APP icon
In addition to the default APP icons, NowPlaying also provides a variety of APP icon choices on the Unlockables page. You can switch to different APP icons at any time by just clicking on them. Some APP icons can be unlocked by solving mission conditions. For example, the limited-time NowPlaying APP icon was recently launched during WWDC 2024.
