Have you ever found yourself haunted by a melody, unable to recall its name or lyrics? The frustration of not being able to pinpoint a specific song can be maddening. Fortunately, YouTube Music has come to the rescue with its latest feature, ‘Hum To Search,’ offering a lifeline to music enthusiasts grappling with elusive tunes.
In a bid to enhance user experience, YouTube Music has introduced an innovative search option designed to simplify song discovery on the platform. As reported by 9to5Google, this new feature adds a dedicated “Song” tab alongside the existing “Voice” tab, enabling users to identify songs by playing, singing, or even humming snippets of the melody. Leveraging the power of artificial intelligence (AI), YouTube employs advanced algorithms to match hummed tunes with their original compositions.
Excitingly, reports from eagle-eyed Reddit users suggest that the ‘Hum To Search’ feature is not limited to Android users alone, with confirmation of its availability on iOS platforms as well, according to Gadgets360. This hints at a simultaneous rollout for both Android and iOS users, although the widespread accessibility of the feature may take a few days as it gradually reaches all users.
Curious about how to unleash the magic of ‘Hum To Search’ on YouTube Music? Here’s a quick guide to get you started:
- Locate the search symbol in the upper right corner of the app interface.
- Next to the voice search option, you’ll find a dedicated search button.
- Choose the “Song” option to initiate your search.
- Hum, whistle, or sing the tune you’re trying to identify for approximately 10 to 15 seconds.
- Sit back and let YouTube Music work its magic as it generates potential matches based on your rendition.
For Android users navigating the YouTube app, accessing the ‘Hum To Search’ feature is equally straightforward. Simply navigate to the search bar and tap the microphone icon to unveil a new screen housing ‘Voice’ and ‘Song’ tabs. While the former facilitates spoken searches, the latter empowers users to hum, play, or sing tunes, allowing AI algorithms to seamlessly match them with their original counterparts.
In addition to this groundbreaking feature, YouTube Music recently expanded its horizons by introducing its paid membership service, YouTube Premium, to ten new countries. With nations such as Libya, Morocco, and Uganda among the latest additions, YouTube Premium is now available in a total of 100 countries, underscoring its global reach and commitment to providing premium content to users worldwide.
