I guess it's time write a an-droid.net review about Shazam, if even the 'pink giant' - Germanys biggest mobile phone provider - has featured it in their recent tv commercial.
What is Shazam? Probably everyone knows this situation: you hear a song and are immediately keen to know who the artist is, and it's name of course. Or even better, get the chance to buy the song at once. And that's what this app is all about! Simply hold the phone approximately 10 seconds in the direction where your sound comes from (radio, television, computer), wait for the subsequent analysis and you're done.
A particularly good audio quality is't always required: in my tests Shazam also worked with bad FM stations, as well as background noise. The app even spotted remixes and songs that never had a chart position without problems.
Once the song has been tagged, it's data is moved into your phone's memory. Tagged songs can then be purchased via Amazon MP3 store or freely viewed on YouTube.
Shazam is available as a free download (ad-supported) on the Android market.
