CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff on November 06, 2008
Shazam is an ingenious and free application that can identify the name, album, and artist of a song just by hearing it over your iPhone's microphone. That means you can hold up your iPhone to a song that's playing--on the radio, in a coffeeshop, at a party--and in a matter of seconds, Shazam can often tell you what song you're hearing, along with (if available) the album art, related YouTube videos, and iTunes purchase links. Shazam is surprisingly fast and accurate, but it works best in fairly quiet environments and/or with fairly loud music, and the closer you can get your microphone (on the bottom of your iPhone) towards the source the better. Shazam also doesn't do well with more obscure music, and it only helps with recorded music (i.e., you can't hum a few bars). Shazam keeps track of your "tags" (the songs that you've asked about) and lets you add photos and share your tags via e-mail.

Publisher's description
From Shazam Entertainment Ltd. :Note: The "Download Now" link directs you to the iTunes App Store, where you must continue the download process. You must have iTunes installed in order to open the link, and you must have an active iTunes account to download the application.
When you hear a song and wonder what it is, Shazam is there with the answer. Hold the iPhone to the music and within seconds Shazam will tell you the artist and the track name. You can use Shazam to identify music anywhere (from radio, TV, movies, or stores), save your tag history, build your own soundtrack, buy music that you hear from iTunes, watch related music videos from YouTube, personalize your tags with photos, and share your tags with friends via Mail.
