OK, this is absolutely AMAZING! I was thinking of maybe posting a more comprehensive entry tomorrow but I just found this amazing website called "The Song Tapper" and I can't wait for other people to try it out.
First, description: you tap a song to this website using your space bar and it searches a database for your song. You know what's so absolutely unbelievable about all this? It actually finds the song. I really could not believe what I saw. I mean, I'm sure there's some extremely scientific process behind all this and if the guy who got the idea explained it to me, I would be like, "yeah that sounds doable" but as a user of this service, it's absolutely, positively… j-just go check it out yourself first and then come back here: The Song Tapper.
Now that you're back (I hope you are, because I really think you should try this thing out first!), let me tell you a bit more about my incredible experience with this website. First of all, how did I come to find it? An incredible tool called StumbleUpon which is a Firefox extension and can do amazing things when you're bored (though most of the time, it just gives you random interesting sites to browse). I saw their (The Song Tapper's) stupid sample video which is really demented and almost turned me off from trying out their service because there was this obnoxious guy tapping Jingle Bells into the thing, though I confess it does convey the basic usage guidelines. Still, I was in a complete state of disillusionment when this site claimed to find your song by tapping. So, I thought I'd tap a random song and see what happened. I asked iTunes to give me one. It gave me "Wonderwall" by Oasis. I tapped it as best as I could and to my utter, jaw-dropping (this might be the first time (or one of the extremely few times) in my life that my jaw has actually, physically dropped) disbelief, the song was right there on their list, second from the top. I counted it as a fluke and tried "Yesterday" by the Beatles as well as "White Flag" by Dido. Again, right there in front of my eyes. Not a fluke. By then, I was just so excited that I just had to come here and spread the word.
Personally, as of now, I don't care how this service works. Tomorrow perhaps, I'll start caring but for now… it's so good!
Note Added: Just a few days ago, when I went to see the Superman Returns, I was talking to my friends on the way about how there's this program to which you can playback a song from the radio or something and it'll search some database for its name. And I jokingly said, "No, you can't hum to it!" and we all had a laugh. And now this piece of genius comes along… what can I say? (in French)
PS: I would like it if you could post a comment as to how your experience with The Song Tapper went.
