Version: Tunatic 1.0.1b
Pros: Easy install, will read songs played on your computer without a microphone if you set it to, and best of all free.
Cons: Does not find rare songs that you maybe searching for, Takes awhile to find the song even on high speed, does not allow windows user to update its library of songs.

"Works for Some Not for Others"
Pros: This software can identify "known" music from a microphone or from capturing sound from the wave channel (right click on Tunatic window to change settings). This is cool!
Cons: This software cannot identify some songs, especially of less "popular" artists.

"Nice idea; hasn't gelled yet"
Pros: Small footprint -- less than 500kb and a simple interface.
Cons: This is more as proof of concept than a program. It doesn't read songs already on the hard drive and if it is able to identify the song, it does not automatically tag the audio file.
What I was looking for is a program to identify the untagged music on my hard drive and, so far, Tunatic is not it.

Summary: you can usually google song lyrics for english songs. i wanted to use this specifically for foreign music that i can't easily google, but the database doesn't contain many hindi and russian songs ~_~. only get this if you want to save yourself the ef... read more

Version: Tunatic 1.0.1b
Pros: Good at identifying music. Fast, easy to install, easy to use, free :) Lots of potential.
Cons: It would be great if one could apply it to batch tagging existing music files. Currently it listens for music coming from the mic. and identifies it.
