- SoundHound
Sound Hound is very similar to classic music streaming apps. The Android app offers many music categories. Unlike Shazam, it also plays videos and not just music.
Sound Hound also has its own song assistant. Saying “Ok Hound” lets you search for an artist and play songs. It’s the only app (among the ones on this list) that can even identify the “buzz” of a song.
