Actually, I briefly introduced this super cool app in my previous guide on finding music from videos. However, after writing that article for a while, I realized one thing: 90% of its effectiveness lies in this app. As long as the music is playing in any window on the browser, it can pull up both the song title and the performing artist for you.
Here, I watched a “highlight clip” in War of Warships and heard a piece of music; I just needed to click on the app icon and wait a few seconds, and it was done.
With this app, every time you hear a piece of music on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, or on the web and want to find the song title, just let the music play, then click on the app icon on the toolbar. It will “listen” to the music and access the data in a few seconds, then it will display both the song title and the artist’s name for you. I’ve tested it with about 50-52 melodies on the web these past few days and found the success rate to be over 90%.
OK, now let’s get to the download and installation part
First, you need to have a Chromium-based browser like Google Chrome, Edge Chromium, or Cốc Cốc because this is an extension from the Chrome Web Store. Next, it’s really simple, just click on the link below to go to the homepage of the extension.
AHA Music – Music Identifier on Chrome
The next step is to add it to Chrome.
Finally, you need to accept its terms to download it.
After installation, it will be available on your toolbar like this.
As for how to use it, I’ve mentioned that at the beginning of the article; just switch to the tab with the music you want to query, play that piece of music, and then click on the AHA Music icon for it to scan. A few seconds later, you’ll have the results. It can figure out Vietnamese, Korean, English, American, Japanese, Thai, Indian, Cambodian music, and more; it’s incredibly powerful.
However, you should remember that this tool is just an extension; no matter how good it is, it’s not infallible, so don’t rely on it for cover clips that are off-key or rhythm of amateur performers. Remix folk music or similar genres are also contraindicated!
