I've also noticed this is why Shazaam is shit even at a concert by the original band.
The link alludes to this when it talks about shazaam not handling us singing a song very well, but it strikes me as most stark when it's even the original artist.
I find that Google is better at identifying the song while shazam always fails at it.
Especially at more niche songs.
I really liked this article! Thanks for the link. Gonna check out their QR Code article next
Cool :)
That's brilliant, thank you!
They should cover JPEG compression at some point; when I first learned how that worked (at uni nearly 40 years ago... God) I was blown away by how beautiful that algorithm is.
Better yet, JPEG and MP3 are basically the same compression algoritm.
