Now if these sites would only take a small music file. I’m having trouble getting my bluetooth headset to record, but I’m sure I could get my phone to record me and then I could send them the recording.

I recommend Tunatic
It is an amazing application that figures out which song is playing out the microphone.
It really works

Just try it

Nayio looked like a cool service that might have been just what I was looking for - unfortunately their site shut down over a year and a half ago:(

For classical music, there used to be a book called Dictionary of Musical Themes (pub. in the 1950s, I think). If you could a theme in the key of C, you could look up the note sequence in the alphabetical index that directed you to a few bars of music of the piece. So if you looked up E E F G G F E D that would direct you to Beethoven\’s Symphony (or anything else that started with the same sequence).

So what would it take to turn that book into a searchable-by-humming index? I mean, other than a massive infringement of copyright!

Thank you.
