Midomi, search for music by humming

http://www.midomi.com/

"Midomi is the ultimate music search tool because it is powered by your voice. Sing, hum, or whistle to instantly find your favorite music and connect with a community that shares your musical interests. Give it a try. It's truly amazing!" http://www.midomi.com/index.php?action=main.about_us

Seriously, this is cool. Ever have that tune you just can't remember? Can you hum just a small part of it? Then you can find it thanks to Midomi.

I love this service. If you think you found it, you can have Midomi play you a snippet to make sure.

We all get that tune in our head that we just can't recall who sang it or the title.

If you are a Linux user like myself, then you will need to "always allow" midomi.com via the adobe flashplayer settings panel, which can be gotten to here:

It should look like this:

Highlight Midomi.com, and the "always ask, always allow and always deny" options will then be selectable.

Once you do this, you may need to refresh the page, which on most browsers is the f5 button.

Here's more info from Midomi's about page:
