There is nothing worse than being out and about and hearing a song that you love but don't know the name of! With SongCatcher you can find the name of any song that's playing. The tool allows users to quickly identify and save music that's playing without leaving the app.
You can even hum or sing the melody of a song that is stuck in your head and we will use our Humming feature to identify the song!
We'll give you the name of the song and the artist, giving you the option to add it straight to your favorite tracks or library if a match is found in the Deezer catalogue.
