Shazam...F*ck Me!!!

This application just blew my mind. Not really sure how they're doing it. Tried it first on some powder-puff stuff. Easily ID'd a bunch of current songs. I then went back in time and was blown away that it got Joy Division's "Heart and Soul", The Fall "Hey Luciani", and some others. Next up was some BSP..."Open the Door"...piece of cake. Okay, a b-side then..."When I Go Out"...no! Crushed. Alright, how about "Salty Water"...yes!

This thing is stupidly addictive!!!

So who's going to put "Stay the Second Time Around" to Shazam?! [:o)]

It sounds hokey, buggy, too good to be true. But if it really does work as well as you say it does, that's pretty damned near astonishing. Definitely something you'd take with you to a club, bar, restaurant, trendy store or anywhere they'd be playing music you'd want to know about. I will never cease to be amazed by the quality of the free apps and widgets you can get from Apple.

You might want to check the license agreement before you continue using that app. It's free for the first month and then they begin charging you a monthly fee.
