Song ID brings music identification to webOS. Finally.

At long last, webOS finally has an app that can identify songs via audio fingerprint. That app is

(their first webOS app). $5.00 brings the basics of a to webOS. And by basics, we mean you open the app, hit the big green Listen button, and wait while it gets a sample, sends it up to the servers of an unnamed audio fingerprinting service, and spits back a result consisting of the track name and album info.

We've been playing with Song ID for a little while now, testing it out on Derek's weirdly varied music library. The majority of the tunes Song ID was subjected to it was able to easily identify, be it Frank Sinatra, Tenacious D, the Vince Guaraldi Trio, John Williams' Jurassic Park soundtrack, or the funky offbeat tunes from Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog. More obscure stuff, like the Dallas Wind Symphony under the direction of Frederick Fennell or the intense ambient tones of The Dark Knight Soundtrack spat back negative results. Song ID also had some problems with Weird Al Yankovic, but that's more a testament to Weird Al's weird abilities than anything else.

Over Wi-Fi Song ID usually returned a match in five-to-ten seconds, while working over 3G took up to 30 seconds. Song ID is pretty basic in that it gives you just the results, no links to a music store to buy the album or YouTube to watch some videos. There's also no way to cancel an identification attempt without just closing the app, which was annoying the handful of times Song ID froze up on "Searching…"

It's not Shazam, it's not fancy, and at $5.00 it's certainly not cheap as far as mobile apps go. But with Song ID webOS users finally get something they've been longing for for so many years.

      Immediately following the major LG webOS firmware upgrade last week, our OLED65G2PSA is damaged. A white line appears top to bottom of screen in from the left hand side & the tv either fails to turn on, or shuts itself down shortly after. Has anyone else had this issue & if so, has any update on a solution. (I'm waiting for LG to get it sorted. Waiting ...)

      Audio is no longer just something you listen to – it’s something you feel, interact with and experience in transformative ways. To push these boundaries further, LG and multi-platinum musician and tech entrepreneur will.i.am have joined forces to introduce LG xboom by will.i.am, a new audio product lineup enhanced with AI technologies, well-balanced sound, versatile designs and exceptional lighting and interaction features.

      At CES 2025, LG and will.i.am shared a deeper insight into their joint vision for the LG xboom by will.i.am, revealing the very first products to feature in this highly-anticipated series. With will.i.am as its “Experiential Architect,” LG aims to establish xboom as a culture-driven brand redefining listening experiences in the most diverse and inventive ways.
      LG and will.i.am’s close collaboration saw him actively define the sound performance, visual design and branding of the rejuvenated LG xboom brand. His influence stems not only from his musical prowess but also from his aesthetic sensibilities and storytelling ability that resonate with global audiences. The collaboration aims to enhance every aspect of the customer journey – from the first touch to the joy of experiencing music and content – inspiring a lasting love for the xboom brand.

      During the LG World Premiere press conference at CES 2025, will.i.am took the stage to outline the endless potential of the LG xboom by will.i.am collaboration, showcasing how the latest audio products bring cutting-edge tech and creative visions together. “Our goal with the new xboom series was never about duplicating what already existed,” he said. “It’s about reimagining what a speaker is supposed to be… it’s about finding your inspiration.”
      Every audio solution in the LG xboom by will.i.am lineup has been professionally tuned by the multiple Grammy Award-winning artist to establish xboom’s signature sound – an expertly balanced audio profile with warmer tones. The playfully compact designs embody will.i.am’s creative artistry, drawn from his life-long experience in pop culture. Leveraging his understanding of what people love as well as his expertise in developing technologies for creatives, will.i.am played a pivotal role in developing the LG xboom brand.

      The LG xboom by will.i.am series introduces the Bounce, Grab and Stage 301, all powered by AI to elevate the listening experience. These advanced speakers analyze music in real time, dynamically adjusting sound to highlight key elements like melody, rhythm and vocals. AI Lighting creates a vibrant atmosphere by syncing speaker lights to the beat of the music, while AI Calibration lets the speakers adapt to their surroundings instantaneously for rich sounds in various spaces. For the first time, LG’s xboom speakers feature a dedicated button for seamless connection to RAiDiO.FYI, a radio platform created by will.i.am offering personalized content curated by an AI Radio Host.

      The Bounce’s up-bouncing passive radiators pulse with the beat, adding a dynamic visual element to the audio experience. Its adjustable strap ensures versatility, allowing it to be effortlessly held, hung or placed on any surface, harmonizing with any environment or occasion.

      Engineered to be the ultimate portable speaker, the Grab combines powerful sound with a compact, travel-friendly design. Its slim, one-handed design makes it ideal for on-the-go use, while dual passive radiators on each side deliver rich bass and lively sound, filling spaces effortlessly despite its small size.

      The xboom Stage 301 transforms any space into a stage with its 6.5-inch woofer and dual 2.5-inch midrange drivers. Perfect for large rooms or parties, this speaker features a built-in handle for easy carrying and a clever wedge design for flexible placement – whether flat on its base, tilted back or mounted on a tripod.

      The lineup also includes LG’s latest earbuds, the xboom Buds. These advanced earbuds not only produce well-balanced sound and rich bass, but also feature an effective Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) and lightweight grapheme drivers. Designed for both comfort and stability, these new LG earbuds feature ergonomic ear tips that adapt to different ear shapes, while a unique ear hook design provides a secure fit for active lifestyles.

      CES 2025 served as the debut stage for the 2025 LG xboom by will.i.am lineup. Starting with the LG press conference on January 6, LG xboom and will.i.am maintained a strong presence throughout the event. From hosting special events like the RAiDiOboom party at LIV Nightclub in Las Vegas to engaging attendees at the xboom booth, every moment celebrated this dynamic partnership.
      LG and will.i.am are committed to continuing their dynamic collaboration with the xboom by will.i.am range, striving to elevate every aspect of the listening experience. Stay tuned to
