Just kind of random... - TvrtleWaterBear - 13-09-2011
...has anyone else heard of Shazam? It's this app for (I know WP7 for certain-there are probably other platforms as well) Winows Phone 7 that will recognize -and pretty darn accurately too- any song you can play to it. Some of the limitations are that it does have to "hear" the song-you can't just hum the melody. But, I found it fairly useful for songs that I liked on the radio. Just curious.

Only blurs for it. Not seen it.

It works pretty well for current music and well known classic rock. Not so well when you get into more obscure stuff, which is not too likely on most top hits radio. I've stumped it many times with my vinyl and a few times with CDs. Cool to see it do its stuff.

I have Soundhound on my phone it identifies humming and all but not very well. I've only played with it a little though.
