- After receiving the voice command for a music identification request, your Ignite Entertainment Box or TV Player records 6 seconds of audio and will show ‘Analyzing’ on the screen to indicate that the music identification process is in progress.
- Using that audio, a music fingerprint will be run through the music identification service.
- If there's a match, an answer will be displayed on the TV.
- If there's no match, the message "Sorry, I didn't recognize that song." will be displayed on the TV.
