  And yet my android phone is able to detect what song is playing 24x7

  What is this referring to? Spotify?

    On my android it’s called “now playing” and it’s a feature of the os. It even recognizes live cover versions as the song they’re covering sometimes. Claims to do it all local-only without sending data, just always listening and seeing what it recognizes.

      Granted, things are getting to the point that it may very well be possible. But these kinds of claims have been around for over a decade, and today my voice control devices still fail to understand me rather regularly.

      Not to mention, a song is usually extremely easy to pick out. In a loud bar with background music, your brain tends to pick up the beat and start grooving along with it, even if you don’t realize it most of the time. Compared to the person sitting across the table trying to yell things to you, and you having to resort to lip reading and guesswork.

      It listens to music being played on other devices? I haven’t seen it on my phone.

        Or live music played by musicians, in this case.

        Maybe it is only for Pixel phones. It’s hard for me to differentiate between pixel features and stock android recently.
