Musipedia: The Wikipedia of Music

Musipedia logoEver been watching TV, listening to the radio or in the supermarket and you hear a song being played – and it’s a cool song. So cool, in fact; that you would like to download it to your Mp3 player. One problem I’m constantly running into is loving a song but not knowing the name or indeed much of the lyrics. Perhaps it’s just the tune or the chorus that sticks out in your mind – how do you find it?

Well, Musipedia may hold the answer. Basically, its a site that allows you to search for a song by the way it sounds.  There are a few ways of doing this. For those with musical talent or can just read music, the piano option is for you. Using either the Java or Flash Piano you can play the part of the song that you remember. This will then be compared to the most similar songs on their database and you’ll be given an answer.

For those who couldn’t hit a note if it was standing right in front of them (like me), you can whistle. Yup, I said whistle.

Using this function, you can use the microphone in you laptop or one connected to your PC to whistle the tune. Then, it will analyse your whistling and find the song for you.

Musipedia if free to use and it’s available right here.
