On Nayio.com "humming search", if you can hum it, you can find it.

Taking music recognition technology one step further, Nayio.com has announced the launch of the first melody-based humming search, through a parnership with Napster.

"if you can hum it, you can find it."

Through a strategic partnership with Napster the digital music pioneer, the service cross-references the hummed melody with Napster’s massive library of more than three million songs and delivers a list of potential matches."

... Humming search is based on muGene, which extracts the melody and tempo of any given song. It is also the basis for providing visual displays of pitch and synchronized lyrics, as well as the pitch evaluation system that is used to score the user’s pitch accuracy. (The ability to sing in tune is a caveat for the accuracy of humming search results.)
