Bryce Mayall what’s funny is Shazam isn’t even that old. I remember just a few years ago (?) when it came out and I’d show it working to my friends and they were amazed. Crazy how fast we go to not being impressed any longer.
@@angelsv Wow, that's a crappy thing to say. My kid isn't lazy, nor does she just sit around watching TV all day. Good luck in life, believing "kids these days" all suck. I'm sure there's no case where something your predecessors found amazing, you thought was just meh, 'cause you're better.
there are 2 main parts of the video: 1. Shazam has a database of songs and their fingerprints. When you're listening to a song and ask Shazam about it, it builds the fingerprint from what it hears, and looks for its match in the database. How is the fingerprint built? That's a secret only the Shazam team know, and likely involves a lot of filters and calculations. 2. How can Shazam search such a big database so fast? It uses this hash to build an index of all songs. So instead of comparing the fingerprint to all 20 million fingerprints in the database, it only has to compare it with maybe 100, or less. Similar to finding a book in a library. You don't go through all shelves and read all book covers. Instead you ask a computer about the book, and it tells you which shelf to look at. Only difference is that the hash does a bit more than this library computer. The hash tells you where the fingerprint would be if it existed, OR where it should go if it's being added now to the database.
They basicially created a miracle but only to realize that the app isnt very useful. You can just ask a dj what is the name of the song. Or most propably you will hear the song played again later day. And who cares about the music when theyre hunting for.. you know well sex lol.
Shazam is great, incredible. But I don't understand why soundhound isn't as recognized as shazam, it basically does the same but you can also sing the lyrics or any melody of the song, even if you do it a little out of tune it will find it. That's just mindblowing.
Well Shazam has been around for quite some time, I remember it being on my blackberry back in the day and working almost just as well. I also would imagine that Shazam has a greater pool of songs as its more well known and thus more artists are putting their tracks on the app. That being said I checked on the google play store and soundhound has over 100 million downloads so its hardly unrecognized.
JRussoC For me, the soundhound’s database was not nearly as diverse and immense as shazam’s was. Especially for foreign songs. It was just the circumference ,if you will, of the database that made me use shazam all the tine.
there is a website where you can tap the rhythm and it shows 10 similar songs. Worked for me every time. Also you can choose is it classical music or non-classical
As a cs student this was very fun to watch. I paused at every bit of the video where a problem was introduced and thought a little bit about it. And was happy to see that I mostly got very close to the presented solution. :)
Was hoping to fix the pronunciation of "timbre", as a Patreon supporter (William Leu) pointed it out. I am currently extremely sick after getting food poisoning while filming in Africa, and couldn't get a decent take to fit in. On a positive note, we got great footage and I can't wait to show you what we filmed.
Nothing beats searching the lyrics and seeing a song with a title far from what you searched, then you learned 3 months later that that was the song you were looking for
This is a perfect example of how information should be presented on youtube. The Irish accent is just so well delivered and easy to follow combined with the visual information. There are a lot of tubers out there who should learn from this example.
I'm curious, did y'all learn to read/taught the existence of IPA pronunciation in school, and are you in e.g. UK, USA, NZ, Canada, Australia? I just tune out every IPA pronunciation text whenever I see it, never even heard/realised its importance/ prevalence until recently when I saw an overseas relative use it.
I’m really blown out by the fact that it recognizes classical pieces if you yourself play them in a normal way! I tried that in a few pieces like Chopin and it works!
As a software developer I think it’s pretty awesome to see an amped-up dumbed-down video about the Fast Fourier Transform and hash functions. When people ask me how something works, this is the part where I notice they’re wishing they didn’t ask me.
I swear 3 days ago or so i was thinking of how shazam works but i forgot to search on it on youtube and now randomly your video popped up on my recommendation list , I subscribed immediately
When I first got my iPad, quite a few years ago, now, I was curious about Shazam, and how much data it was sending back to its servers to identify a song. I set up a packet sniffer on my wifi network, and monitored just the amount of traffic to and from my iPad while using the Shazam app. I just tried it again; it's more difficult to discern exactly what traffic is Shazam, and what traffic is part of the exchange to bring up album info and other tie-ins, however, from the time I pressed the Shazam button to getting a response, my computer sent a total of 1176 bytes of data out. If that was pure audio data,, would only contain an audio sample of a small fraction of a second; certainly not enough to provide any clue as to the music that was playing. The video explained nicely how such a small amount of data could possibly match a record in Shazam's database. Thanks!
what gets me is how Shazam gets the right version of a song not just the song. Many songs have been covered many times but it always comes up with the right version.
INCREDIBLE video...As a computer science engineering student, some point i thought about how this could work but i never looked for it..And now youtube recomended it..You earned a subscribe..(My thoughts about how it could work were close)
Wow, that's a very good explanation. I've always wondered how this program works since starting to use it almost 3 years ago. With my electrical and electronics background, I had no trouble understanding the 3D spectogram and the simplified fingerprint. So far so good. It got harder to understand with the hash functions (no, not the kind you smoke) but it's obvious by now it's looking for certain patterns in any song. It's another example of using fancy high tech algorithms to simplify data like those used used to compress audio or video. I'm absolutely amazed that there are people smart enough to figure these algorithms out and how to make them work!
Short Explanation: Shazam is the acronym of six immortal Gods, (Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles and Mercury). Just shout "Shazam" out in public and a bolt of lighting will strike you, granting you the power of superhuman strength, speed and agility, and the ability to fly. Also, it's all magic based, even Superman struggles against it.
Holy shit, that's cool! (i haven't used it, surprisingly) I never looked into it, thought it was an advertising dump or something, just from seeing those commercials where you can check out a "funny" advert in shazam..... Those caused me to not look into it.
@@volvo09 No it's a great app. I've never been great at remembering song names or even artists, so when I hear something I like or recognize that I want to find later, I Shazam it.
My god! I spent almost a week trying to find the relationship between hash tables and the Shazam algorithm and I' couldn't until this video. Thank you so much, I appreciate it.

the “two” objectives of a hash function you mentioned here are both literally the same thing. Evenly distributing hashes is the same thing as minimizing collisions. Something you didn’t mention explicitly (even if it’s relatively obvious) is that hash functions will always return the same output given the same input, which is the most important factor that makes them useful.
Thank you Real Engineering. I was searching for this for a very long time.. I was wondering how that app works and engineering behind it. You showed me the basics of how fingerprint works. Thanks for the video!
How is an anchor point reliably determined? That’s the part I never got. How can the phone ensure that the first point it uses is the first point in song snippet stored in a db
That is explained in the "coding geek" reference in the description. It was a bit of a long winded and boring explanation, so I left it out of the video.
I'm a 2nd year software engineering student and I didn't understood shit in this video... Now I'm depressed by thinking what I'm gonna do with my future xD
I learned to program computers back in the 1970's. I consider Shazam the most amazing piece of software I have ever seen. It's speed and accuracy astound me every time I use it.

Yes, but the Shazam app launched in 2008, ten years ago. It wasn't as great as today at first, but I remember it being brilliant when I first tested it around 2010
Up until building the fingerprint I could figure out, but the clever way of using the fingerprints and plugging it as input to a hash function? That caught me off guard and makes so much sense!
Plot twist: Shazam hired millions of employee sit behind the screen to recognize it
Just like Google makes its employees sit behind search engine curtain according to congressmen eh? (Don't want to bring politics but the debate between congressmen and Google CEO was too funny)

How is an anchor point reliably determined? That’s the part I never got. How can the phone ensure that the first point it uses is the first point in song snippet stored in a db
That is explained in the "coding geek" reference in the description. It was a bit of a long winded and boring explanation, so I left it out of the video.
I'm a 2nd year software engineering student and I didn't understood shit in this video... Now I'm depressed by thinking what I'm gonna do with my future xD
This is just a basic concept. I'm pretty sure there's more going on to make sure the pattern is recognized.
Hamza Khan a lot of this stuff will be taught in transforms. CE/EE students need to learn it, it’s possible software engineering students don’t
Shazam most likely uses DSP algorithms along with the explained hashing.
A quite detailed explanation, but understandable and informative. I am inspired to check out the other videos on the channel
This is is glorious - I've always been curious about sound - this is whetting my appetite.
1:53 you didn’t give us any time to answer! Lol
That was the point, people were able to recognise the song and press stop within the time we heard the song.
This video is so interesting. Also just so y’all know, timbre is pronounced like tamber
0:13 i think you left some of your personal notes in the script for the subtitles
Haha that's really funny XD
I learned to program computers back in the 1970's. I consider Shazam the most amazing piece of software I have ever seen. It's speed and accuracy astound me every time I use it.
Amazing how complex it is, yet how fast the app manages to do it.

Well, RIP your monetization
I don't use Shazam, I just use Google Voice/assistant whatever it's called now. When it detects music you just press the note button and then it does it's thing
Google Assistant does the job
*_RUclips Music wants to know your location_*
This video was brilliant! All the visuals helped a lot.
You answered a question that hit me from day one. Thanks a million
Hope you have a great day ! ❤️
“Timber” 🌲it’s pronounced “tAmber”
How big is your library that they have a shelf for each book? Does each shelf have a librarian? Can I apply for that job? I can sleep under my desk and shave in the bathroom!
@K.D.P. Ross Let me introduce you to something called 'humor' ...
@K.D.P. Ross Hey dude. I know you're trying to be smart. You're very smart and we're all proud of you. *applause*
@K.D.P. Ross Bored, huh? Can't help you. Analytics don't agree with your opinions. I'm sorry you didn't like my dumb joke. Nothing I can do about that. All I really can do is laugh at you. You're way funnier than I'll ever be. Jajajajajajaja.
Hats off to u guys & those who made Shazam 👏🏻👏🏻
1:51 yeah all thanks to you, now that song got stuck in my head for the rest of my day 😂🤣
2:46 Oh. Just like wood...
I see a Tantacrul watcher...
For some reason, I thought it was EMF - Unbelievable. ... I guess I have failed as a human. Maybe the Machines should take over.
It just means we're older, mate. Machines will take over, don' worry.
I remember the song "you suffer" made by napalm death.
As A programmer and a musician,
I loved this video, ,, 😍😍
Excellent video. Simple and precise. Really enjoyed it. Fabulous work! Keep it up!
Doesn’t the pixel already do that built into the os
Evil Gummy Bear yes
Yeap, but I don't particularly want to give google permission to actively monitor my microphone
Real Engineering oh, I was just wondering since it looked like you had a pixel 2, i think?

Yes, but the Shazam app launched in 2008, ten years ago. It wasn't as great as today at first, but I remember it being brilliant when I first tested it around 2010
Plot twist:
its a guy in a closet who was forced to learn every song
sony's TrackID app used to do the same trick almost over a decade ago.
Was going to Google that. Forgot the name.
Up until building the fingerprint I could figure out, but the clever way of using the fingerprints and plugging it as input to a hash function? That caught me off guard and makes so much sense!
Highly insightful video for the brief overview of 'Hashing' concept! Nice! :)
