Tunatic

{{Short description|Freeware music identification program}}

Tunatic is a freeware music identification program developed by Sylvain Demongeot for Windows and Mac OS.

The software analyzes a song by recording it via microphone or just by playing it through the sound card, and then it sends the data online to its database where it searches for a match. Tunatic will return the title of the song and the author along with a link for more information if a match is found.{{cite web|title=What's the tune?
