Midomi is a music search tool that allows users to identify songs by singing or humming into their microphone. It analyzes the audio clip and returns potential song matches. It can identify songs based on a short clip of the melody alone without knowing the title or artist. The results include the song title, artist, and a link to listen to a 30-second preview of the song on sites like YouTube or Spotify.
