Bing Audio

Bing Audio (also known as Bing Music) is a <a href="/facts/Music_information_retrieval/6QH7SpSo">music recognition</a> application created by <a href="/facts/Microsoft/nGIDDXdx">Microsoft</a> which is installed on <a href="/facts/Windows_Phone/khEg0rGT">Windows Phones</a> running version <a href="/facts/Windows_Phone_7.5/eDPUWlRT">7.5</a> and above, including <a href="/facts/Windows_Phone_8/8Ed3tWwl">Windows Phone 8</a>. On <a href="/facts/Windows_Phone_8.1/X1NgxYPn">Windows Phone 8.1</a>, and in regions where the <a href="/facts/Microsoft_Cortana/du1CmE4u">Microsoft Cortana</a> voice assistant is available, Bing Music is integrated with Cortana and the music search history is a part of Cortana's "Notebook". The service is only designed to recognize <a href="/facts/Recorded_music/BMbpAWkE">recorded songs</a>, not live performances or humming. <a href="/facts/Xbox/c4vCQ0kC">Xbox</a> Music Pass subscribers can immediately add the songs to their <a href="/facts/Playlist/dV3NlYS8">playlists</a>. A unique feature compared to similar services is that Bing Audio continuously listens and analyzes music while most other services can only listen for a fixed amount of time. Bing Research developed a fingerprinting algorithm to identify songs.
On March 30, 2016 Microsoft announced they will create bots based on Bing features in <a href="/facts/Skype/qdKbuh23">Skype</a>, which Bing Music was one such feature.
