I’m listening to the radio and a nice instrumental version of “In My Life” by The Beatles comes on. I think I’d like to know who did this so I can find it to listen to later. So, Shazam to the rescue.
Or not.
I’ve had Shazam fail me many times, but when it does it just reports that it can’t identify the song (I believe the message says “No match”), and if I try again (because sometimes there was just too much background noise) it just repeats that it can’t identify it.
But this time? It tells me it’s “Futurama” by Tony Festiva. I try again. “Blue Coast (Red Eye Mix)” by Several Spirits. Six tries, six different answers, all of them but one upbeat electronic music. Nothing like the folk instruments I was hearing.
Anything like this happen to anyone else? And does anyone have any idea why it would be so far off?
