"What is this song?" is interesting when combined with a smart speaker!

　It seems that the Pixel series has had this function for a long time, but I had no idea that this function existed.

　"What is this song?", but the Pixel listens to the music playing around it and displays the name of that song on the lock screen.

I noticed this when I was eating 1.5 servings of cheese short rib rice bowl at a beef bowl restaurant. When I suddenly saw the "Pixel 4a (5G)" that I had on the side, saying that I was in time for the in-store meal time at 8:00 pm today, when I was playing some kind of song on the in-store broadcast, I was always unfamiliar with the lock screen. There is a sign "Shunshu (Mrs. Green Apple)" in the place. And the in-store broadcast announcement said, "Mrs. Green Apple was 'Shunshu'." Eh, just now, did you recognize and display the name of the song that was broadcast in the store!?

What is this song? setting screen. See, the title of the song that was playing just now is displayed, right?

So, I went home and tried various things. With the Pixel on my side, I played YouTube and recorded anime theme songs on my computer one after another. It doesn't display all of them, but it displays the song titles properly in a good percentage. Oh, isn't this amazing?

The opening theme song of the anime also displays the song name properly. Check the title subtitles to be sure!

However, there are times when the song titles are displayed very quickly, and there are times when it takes a long time. In the opening of an anime, the song title is already displayed on the TV screen and then displayed on the smartphone. I don't really understand what the factor is, whether it's the song or the volume.

　The interesting thing about combining it with the Pixel's "What's this song?" Aside from things like the Nest Hub, which has a display, smart speakers usually don't have the ability to display anything. The same goes for our original Google Home.

Therefore, if you play a song with an unknown title on YouTube Music, such as "Play anisong in 2021!" The title of the song will be displayed.

If you turn on the Always on Display (ambient display) and place the Pixel nearby, it will always display the title of the song. It is very convenient.

A combination of Google Home and Pixel 4a (5G). It is very convenient because it displays the title of the song when you play a song appropriately.

By the way, this "What is this song?" So, if ``Today is also you and Nambu Line'' is included, ``Oh, I got on a JR train on this day.'' Or you can guess, "Last Saturday, I got in the car and went shopping at Donki because the RADWIMPS song I was playing in the car and the Donki theme are still in my history."

　If you want to use it to create an alibi, can you use it?

History of "What is this song?" It's obvious where you went and what you did every day... even the background music in the car.
