Shazam is an application that iPhone users will probably already be familiar with. The idea is you let Shazam ‘listen’ to a song (ie let it record a few seconds of the song with the phone’s microphone) and it will send the short clip to a factory full of GENIUS MUSICAL MONKEY slaves who will fling poop at a list of song titles on the wall - identifying it! Then one of the monkeys will send detailed information on the song back to your G1 - including Artist, title, the album it’s from, and links to the artist’s MySpace page etc.
Ok so there may not ACTUALLY be monkeys. Read all about it on Shazam.com and get the app FREE now from the Android Market!
This app is probably one of the more impressive things I’ve seen on the iPhone - and it’s great to see it come out on Android.
