In the smallest of tweaks, the Google app’s Song Search shortcut has a new, modernized icon.
The icon went from a white musical note on the blue background to the opposite a few weeks ago. Google app 15.44, the latest beta, updates Song Search again to a different note icon (more streamlined) that is partitioned into blue, green, yellow (just a sliver), and red. This matches the fullscreen globe of rotating dots.
This follows Google adding a Quick Settings (QS) Tile for Song Search in October, while the aforementioned globe animation was introduced earlier this year. YouTube Music also added its own Sound Search feature in July.
Hum to Search is quite good, but it would be nice if results were automatically saved rather than just existing as a Search results page. For example, it would be handy if Google automatically created a Song Search Collection in the Saved tab. (YTM would also benefit if identified songs were added to an auto-playlist.)
