Music enthusiasts struggle to identify and locate obscure songs from their past

Music fans encounter songs they heard years ago but can't remember the artist, title, or where to find them again. Stack Exchange music identification questions show people spending hours searching with minimal information (partial lyrics, vague descriptions, era guesses). Current solutions like Shazam only work for songs playing in real-time, leaving people frustrated when they can't identify older or lesser-known tracks they heard once.
