This is an amazing app which has been around since the inception of apps in July of 2008. Shazam is a free and amazing life tool, it identifies songs that are playing where you are by taking a thirty-second sample using the built-in microphone, and within a few seconds has analyzed the song and presented you with a useful screen displaying the song title, artist, album, and links for a Youtube video, to buy it in iTunes, and to Tweet about the song.
I’ve included some screen shots of it from my use—and in my few days of using it, I’ve found that it’s incredibly accurate at identifying music, even in noisy environments.
Get this app for free from the app store. [link]
Strangely, this app requires an iPhone, however could work on a 2G iPod Touch.
