Shazam for the iPhone is a great new application that allows you to tag music you hear so that you can buy it through iTunes or similar service. Shazam is free through iTunes.
Key features include:
- Tag music: identify music anywhere – whether it’s on the radio, TV, in a movie or in a store.
- Build your own soundtrack: see the list grow every time music is tagged.
- Get the music: go straight to iTunes to preview and buy.
- Music Videos: see related videos of the track on YouTube.
- Capture the moment: personalise the tag by taking a photo and adding it to ‘My Tags’.
- Share the moment: send track details to friends via email.
I tried it out on my phone on a road trip this past weekend. My wife was the one who discovered it so I give her the credit for finding this gem.
