Pros & Cons:
Pros
- Identify music by allow your phone to listen to it; you sing it, hum it, type it for voice search it!
- Get a wealth of information about tagged artists: tour, social networks, bio, related songs, YouTube videos, purchase song options, and more
Cons
- Not every song can be found however Shazam’s digital library is vastly growing
Usefulness:
Shazam for Android is one of the most useful & coolest apps you can find. It delivers functionality better on mobile than on a desktop. I absolutely fell in love with the app when seeing it on the Apple iPhone TV Commercial; an app powerful enough to listen to music and tell you what song it is… uncanny!
Ease of Use:
Couldn’t be more simple: Launch App, Listen, It Tags… (If it doesn’t, chances are they’ll be adding it soon. Shazam recently added over 2 million songs to its library)
Features:
Shazam has 2 main features: Tag Now and My Tags. Tag Now allows you to easily listen to a song and it returns the song name, artist, album, record label, artist MySpace page, link to buy the song/album in Amazon’s MP3 store, and YouTube video (if available). How cool is that!?!. My Tags shows a list of songs you’ve tagged for revisiting later. (You can delete Tags as well)

Frequently Used:
I find myself having my G1 ready when watching prime time TV shows, they play a lot of new and interesting songs and this a great way to test Shazam. The other night I was watching Grey’s Anatomy and faintly heard what I thought was Kayne West singing with the Auto-Tune at a poignant moment in the show. Launched Shazam, listened, sure enough… it was! Kayne’s Street Lights.
Interface:
The user interface is slick and easy to use. Likes the wet floor graphics on black
The “listening” circular motion graphic is cool too!
