Midomi is a music search engine with a difference. Instead of just typing in your search term, you can hum it. Yes I know it’s been tried before, but surely this time it could actually work? Er nope. I sang a beautiful rendition of Good Vibrations at it and the first result was something called Ni Una Sola Palabra. Close. What’s worse is the list included Vincent, Starry Starry Night. I know I’ve got a dodgy voice but c’mon guys…

The generic text search seems to work fine, although unlike conventional music search services this one seems to be stuck in the ‘let’s just serve 30 seconds of the song’ mode. Which makes it a little useless. Ah well, nice try on the marketing front.

 midomi is the ultimate music search tool because it is powered by your voice. Sing, hum, or whistle to instantly find your favorite music and connect with a community that shares your musical interests. Give it a try. It’s truly amazing!
