Been using Tunepal for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that lets you identify traditional Irish, Scottish, Welsh, and Breton tunes just by holding your phone up to your instrument and tapping record. Pretty solid app if you’re into traditional music.
Here’s what you do: You open the app, hit record, and it listens to the tune you’re playing. Then it searches a database of over 23,000 tunes and shows you the name of the one it thinks you’re playing. And there’s also an option to download the sheet music, which is pretty cool. And you can save your favorite tunes – took me a while to figure that out but it’s useful.
Look, if you’re into traditional folk music, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the database doesn’t have every single tune out there, so it doesn’t always find what you’re looking for. But overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you want a quick way to identify songs when jamming with friends.
