Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC and in charge of music festivals. When I attended my first music festival as a freshman in college, I was captivated by its charm—“I can’t believe there’s a place this free and this fun.” I share information about wonderful music festivals every day to help grow the community of festival fans.

The season for summer festivals and outdoor festivals has arrived again.

Here are some recommended apps to help you enjoy summer festivals three times more.

Song search

Search song titles just by holding it up to the audio | Shazam

“I’m curious whose song is playing right now!” This comes in handy at times like that. Just hold your iPhone up to the audio that’s playing and it will search for songs from around the world. You can even look up videos of songs with the same title on YouTube, which can help you discover new artists. It doesn’t seem to recognize humming or a cappella.

An app that turns your smartphone into a karaoke remote | KyokuNavi JOYSOUND

When you go to karaoke, there are usually only one or two remotes, so it rarely gets to you, and you can’t take your time choosing songs for the next turn. With KyokuNavi, your smartphone instantly becomes a karaoke remote! You can easily connect to the karaoke machine via the Utasuki membership system. Now you can select songs at your own pace. Plus, there are loads of handy and fun features, like changing the karaoke video background to photos on your phone, and “Instant Musician,” which lets you join in with a cool performance just by pretending to play. It’s an indispensable app for JOYSOUND!

Search for songs by humming or via the microphone | SoundHound

Music search and humming search app: SoundHound

Have you ever heard a song playing in town or at a store and thought, “I want to know the title so I can listen to it properly later!” or “I’ve heard this before but can’t remember the name!”? It’s frustrating when you can’t recall it, right? That’s where the app Sound Hound comes in handy! Just let your smartphone’s microphone pick up the audio, and in no time it will display all kinds of information—the song title, lyrics, and even other tracks by the artist. You can also preview or purchase the song, so if you like it, you can download it to your phone right away. You can even search by humming, so even without the original audio, you can sing the part you remember into the mic and it will identify the song! It also worked well when whistling accurately! Why not use Sound Hound to discover new music?
