They are many times when I listen to music (mostly on youtube videos) and I would like to know what the music is. If the song contains lyrics, its as easy as typing the lyrics into google. But if there is no lyrics, I'm stuck.

Sometimes Tunatic works. (It's a free music recognition software, based on sound). Other times, musipedia works, but less often. It's a website where you can search for music with multiple methods such as virtual keyboard, whistle, or rhythm input.

I am looking for a software more like Tunatic, but I am open to everything.

Essentially, my question is "is there anything better than tunatic ?

This is a bit of a shopping recommendation. If you have specific needs regarding what the applications are capable of, please provide them. Your question as written can be answered using a simple google search, which I have done, and the answer appears to me to be tunatic. It's not complete, but it looks like the best out there. – music2myear Nov 17 '11 at 22:43
Essentially, my question is "is there anything better than tunatic ?" Because its database is not that complete, especially for classical music. – pinouchon Nov 17 '11 at 22:46

Try MusicBrainz Picard. It generates a "fingerprint" for a music file and uses that to query its database of songs. Not perfect by any means, but useful.

Seems good, but I don't see how I can use it to find the music on youtube videos. Useful for music files tough. – pinouchon Nov 17 '11 at 22:53
