    Default Shazam adds 2 million songs to database


    One application we were excited to see on Android is Shazam. After using it so frequently on the iPhone it makes the transition that much easier. Now the only problem we have had with Shazam is the large focus on pop music while leaving many other ge... Read more

    Cool!

    Now they have 8 million songs available...

    I'm wondering how they pay for all of this. The servers required to quickly take an uploaded sample of a song, compare the waveforms against 8 million songs with enough accuracy to guess the song and return it back to the user in a few seconds is a monumental task. Their server farm must be massive. They have to be getting money from iTunes and AmazonMP3 for every track purchased when it comes as a referral from them.

    So this will stream? If it's more than just a db for recognizing songs and linking to myspace ill check it out. So far streamFusion and imeem lack the organization and category features I need to become a frequent user so I am still very int he market.

    I was in Banana Republic last night and I really liked the song that was playing. I didn't have Shazam, however, so I had to hurry up and download it -- OVER EDGE -- since the Galleria doubles as a large steel 3G blocker. I managed to dl, install, and use the app right as the song was ending. To my satisfaction (and surprise) it successfully identified the song as "Every Party" by Erlend Oye.

    I smiled.

    No, it just recognizes the song that's playing and allows you to buy it through the AmazonMP3 store.

    No, it just recognizes the song that's playing and allows you to torrent it at a later time using your favorite torrent client
