1415372 2016-02-02 21:27:00 I sometimes hear a tune used as background music on the TV that I know quite well but do not know the name. Is there a site where I could go and perhaps hum or whistle the tune and have them tell me the name of the tune?

Your help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Shazam is an app for your smart phone that you can hold up to the TV or Radio speaker and it will give you the track/artist.

I don't have a smart phone, just a very basic phone that only does text and speech. Besides, you cannot hum to Shazam.

1415375 2016-02-03 00:12:00 Does the tune have lyrics, ie is it a song? If yes a Google search for a line from the song and the word lyrics will do it for you. If not, look at the credits at the end of the programme. Or you could record an extract from the tune, upload it to a free hosting site and copy the link here for us to hear it. Greg (193)
1415376 2016-02-03 00:45:00 Why not try phoning the station and ask them? I did that to find out the name of a filler track they were playing on Coast FM, and they were more than happy to help out. WalOne (4202)

Thanks very much, Wainui. Just what I wanted.

I was looking for a piece of classical music and wondered if it only did popular music but hummed the tune and received an almost instantaneous reply. I was very pleased. I have bookmarked the site as I am certain I will use it again.

Much appreciated.

My humming is not too bad - not fantastic but at least it was recognised.

I'm listening to some good music as a result of finding that one piece so I am very pleased.

Thanks again, Wainui, you have been very helpful.
