Application to identify songs

James Trusler
Wednesday, August 29, 2012

Ever heard a song on the radio and wondered who is the artist or even the name of the song? Thanks to a smart application called Shazam you can now use your mobile phone to find out.

Simply put your phone near the music and press the button to start Shazam listening and within seconds it will identify the song and come back and tell you the name of the song along with other information about the artist. Shazam also provides links to the music video on YouTube so with the click of a button you can be watching the music video on your smartphone. Shazam can also connect to your Facebook account and post your music tags to your wall.

Shazam is available as a free download for iPhone, Android, BlackBerry and some other devices from their relevant app stores.
