Sometimes, music identification services fail to identify the real name of a sound track because some video used it as a background music or stole it entirely.
For example, "Mr. Sunny Face" is a track by Wayne Jones from the YouTube audio library.
If you plug it into AHA-Music, it will return the titles of viral YouTube videos that used it, or obscure DistroKid videos that stole it, such as "Must Watch Fun - Bowdelle" (no YouTube URL), "Crossing paths - Peaceful Reflections Studio" (YouTube URL, a stolen copy of that song), and "Bad Money" by Mark Angel Comedy (YouTube URL, uses it as background music).
If you plug some tracks by "Vibe Tracks", you might get results of "DJoNemesis" who just added low-quality voiceovers. For example, Baffo d'Oro (DJoNemesis & Lilly Golden Version Mix) is from Vibe Tracks - Fun.
Because AHA-Music shows nothing beyond one result, it can not get past videos that stole it or viral videos that used it as background music.
Are there any music identification services that can show multiple results?
Midomi.com / SoundHound actually did, but it is defective.
And where do music identification services get their results from? It's not like AHA-Music crawls the entirety of YouTube, right?
