When we have talked to you about musical applications, we have emphasized those platforms that are based on the creation and editing of tracks that in some cases, allow us to offer almost professional results that have nothing to envy to the more elaborate programs existing for larger media like computers. The reproduction of our favorite songs and groups has become one of the most widespread uses on tablets and smartphones and this leads to the creation of all kinds of tools that aim to go further and identify all kinds of genres and authors.
One of the most significant changes that we have found in this use of portable supports for leisure is the existence of apps that recognize any melody in a matter of seconds and allow us to locate and acquire it later. Shazam is the best known example to all, however, there are others such as TrackID that they intend to rival him and about which we will tell you more below. Will you be ready to become an alternative?
Operation
TrackID is an app that recognize songs. Placing the terminal in front of the loudspeaker or device on which it sounds, not only does it offer us data about them such as their author or their duration, but it also offers other series of content such as biographies of the artists who have composed it or the lyrics. On the other hand, it links directly to the videoclips.
Interface
One of the attractions used by the developers of this platform to position it as one of the most elaborate within its scope, is, on the one hand, its handling, which is based on the navigation through three tabs in which we can find the song history, current trends or live performances, and on the other, the possibility of synchronizing the tracks with other platforms such as Spotify that allows the creation of playlists to listen to later.
Free?
TrackID does not have no initial cost, as is usually common in all these types of applications. Updated at the beginning of November, it has already managed to target the 50 million users. Although in general terms it has been well received, it has also received many criticisms for aspects such as slow operation in some terminals or errors when trying to recognize some songs that can cause unexpected closings.
Do you think that Shazam will have the leadership and that despite the appearance of apps like TrackID, it will continue to be at a considerable distance from them?
