TrackID was a mobile music and audio search engine for Android devices and some Sony television sets. TrackID was developed by Sony Mobile and allowed users to identify music using Gracenote's music database.[1] Gracenote was acquired by Sony in 2008.[2] The acquisition was completed on June 2, 2008.[3] The revised Android application was released in March 2015.[4]

The service has been present on select Sony Ericsson handsets since around 2005.[5][6]

TrackID was discontinued by Sony Mobile on 15 September 2017 and Sony recommended that users install Shazam to 'continue discovering music'.[7]
