Siri not recognizing song titles and artists?

I was having this same issue (“Hey Siri, what song is this?” “Sorry, I can’t identify music right now. Try again later.”) for a long time when I found this thread a couple days ago when I finally decided to attempt sorting this out: Siri music recognition not working since … - Apple Community. After considerable effort troubleshooting and testing the issue with Apple Support through the early afternoon, I came to the conclusion that the issue was present (in my experience) when I was wearing a Bluetooth device (most commonly with AirPods Pro 2 and an iPhone 12 Pro Max, but not on my other devices). I had gone through all the settings configurations, restarting, restarting, and restarting… all with very limited success. And keep in mind that I was mostly having this issue when in the car (with my AirPod in one ear) and wanting to know the song on the radio. I don’t know for certain if others were wearing a Bluetooth headset when they had this issue, but in my experience and experiments, when I removed the Bluetooth, Siri had no trouble telling me the song title and artist, and seemed to be compromised when I had the Bluetooth in.

In sharing my findings with apple support, they almost immediately put 2 & 2 together, and figured out the issue to be software related. Here’s hoping that the technology will get smarter in the near future, and Siri can identify music with or without a Bluetooth earpiece attached.

So, in short, if you’re wearing a Bluetooth earpiece and you want Siri to identify the song you’re listening to, remove the Bluetooth before you ask. It should work just fine. Good luck!
