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:
- Sorry, I didn’t understand (90% of cases)
- Search “what song is this” on Google
My use cases are:
- In car listening to radio. I never have it work.
- 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.
For now.
Google fully intends to replace GA with Gemini.
yes… as soon as it has feature parity with assistant, which will take a while
Ah yes Google is well known for achieving feature parity with its own competing apps before axing them after all.
if that was the case they would have just embedded gemini into the assistant app and raised the middle finger to all their user base
They ran Gmail and Inbox concurrently before axing one and not reaching feature parity.
They ran Google Music and YouTube music concurrently before axing one and not reaching feature parity.
Etc.
So why would that be the case?
