Melodis debuts mobile music search app

Search and sound recognition company Melodis Corporation announced the launch of Midomi Mobile, a free mobile music search application enabling users to search for music by singing, humming or even whistling into their wireless device. According to Melodis, the app accesses Midomi's online user-generated database of songs in tandem with the company's patented Multimodal Adaptive Recognition System to identify the song in question. Users can play back the snippet from the rendition matching their query, or listen to other members' renditions that helped identify the song. Midomi Mobile also enables users to search for music videos via aggregator services like YouTube as well as connect to the Midomi social network to access member profiles, recordings, playlists, and more. At launch, Midomi Mobile is optimized for Symbian OS-based handsets, with additional devices and platforms to follow. "An increasing number of music-enabled handsets are sold each year, and we aim to make Midomi Mobile available on all of these handsets," said Melodis CEO Keyvan Mohajer in a prepared statement. "With the exciting functionality we're continuing to develop for Midomi Mobile, it will become the ultimate music search tool for the mobile market."
