does Cortana still recognize songs?

That's the question. I normally don't use Win 10, but I am wondering if
I could use Cortana to recognize songs I'm playing on media player.
Some information I came across says that she no longer works. True or
false? Thanks in advance.

There are apparently two representations in the 1903 Task Bar now.
Search and Cortana are separated.

+-----+ +--------------------------+ /-----\
|Start| | Search | /Cortana\
| Orb | | Box | \ Circle/
+-----+ +--------------------------+ \-----/

You can right-click the Cortana Circle and make it disappear.

If you still have that Cortana circle, feed it your music and see.

Since there is software that large companies use for
Copyright violation testing, it shouldn't be that hard
for them to rig up identification. It's not like they
necessarily had to sit down and write one.

Does the music file contain meta data? In File Explorer, right-click on
the file and look at the Details tab. In the unidentified media player,
it probably also has some means of showing the meta data.

No, these are recordings I made from Internet radio.

Then, according to the URL that I gave, your SOL for getting Cortana to
do the song lookup. Its database doesn't exist anymore.

Android phones offer to identify any music that they hear and I suspect
that iPhones do, as well. I suspect because I've never seen an iPhone up
close.

there are several apps on both platforms that can identify songs,
including shazam, sound hound and others.

Can't use them, don't own smart anything. I have been using
midomi.com for some songs, but it does not recognize many of them. Was
just looking for something web based that was more comprehensive.
