Shazam – Android App

Ever heard a great song on the radio, and didn't know the song's name? Well, those days are over, now you have Shazam.

Many people listen to the radio, in the car, at home, etc, and as soon a they hear a song they like, they have to remember the lyrics and maybe do a Google search to find out the name of the song. This could sometimes be really irritating, especially when Google can't pin point the song out, with the bit of lyrics you provided.

But that doesn't have to be a problem anymore, because Shazam can help you. What Shazam does is, listen to the song on the radio and matches it with the correct name through an online database in a matter of seconds. Once you have the name of the song, you are free to download it later.

You can even go back to Shazam and check the name of the song, because it stores the song it heard. It is very easy to use and is freely available on the play store.

Once you have downloaded Shazam, all you have to do is tap the big black logo on the center of the page. It is also helpful if you can place the mic of your phone closer to the radio, so that Shazam has no problem in picking up the sound waves.

If you did it correctly, you should see the above picture, where it will say listening. Once the program matches your song with the name, it will appear on the screen.

The information of the song will be displayed for you, and you are free to download the song via a website or buy it off Amazon, which is given in the application itself.

There is also the Shazam widget, which is extremely useful because you don't have to go into the application to make the phone start listening to the song.

All you have to do is, go download it from the Play store. There are two versions, the free and paid ones. If you really love the free version, you can download the paid version later.
