"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.

"Bad for songs not in English"
Pros: - Small size, fast installation.
Cons: - Even foreign songs ranking on the top 10s are not recognized. Forget about rare ones.
- Doesn't let you pick songs from hard drive.
- Interface stops responding for some seconds while looking for song info.Summary: After failing multiple times with a rare English song, I tried it with a very known song (in English too) and it recognized it. Then, I tried a it with a popular Spanish song (which was ranked on the top 10s on radios), and was not found. read more
