The author says that once you install Gemini (pro), when you ask “what song is this”, you get a reply like “use apple’s Shazam”.

They say Google assistant music recognition was working so well and super accurate.

Although I was never able to have it work. When I ask “what song is this” I can only get one of this two results:

1. Sorry, I didn’t understand (90% of cases)
2. Search “what song is this” on Google

My use cases are:

1. In car listening to radio. I never have it work.
2. Know which song is playing right now on the device when I’m using headphones. It never worked but it should be trivial, you already have all the metadata already. My iPod touch could do this super reliably and 100% offline TWENTY YEARS ago. It was so useful.
