This app is great fun in the first place: don’t recognise what is playing on the radio? You want to buy the record, but you don ‘t know the title? Let your Shazam app listen and within a few seconds the app will tell you what you are listening too (and will offer to play you the full song on your smartphone) if the song is at least know in its database. So far it has not let me down, but I am sure that there will be obscure recordings that are not findable. More fun in Shazam: you can view time-synced lyrics or view the album title, label, release date, and more for a new Shazam immediately after you identified a song. Shazam is also very useful when you are looking for music for your video productions. Free for Android and iOS.
