When I listen to the radio and hear a song that I used to love back in the day, I get really excited. I am a HUGE fan of the throwbacks and one-hit wonders that used to play on the radio constantly. The only issue I find myself facing is the fact that, if the name of the song is not announced, I will never know the name of it. This really bothered me, until I discovered Shazam. Shazam is an app that tags the song; meaning, it works by listening (tagging) the song and displaying both the title and artist of the song. Next, this fancy app gives you a few options. The options include downloading the song from itunes, sharing it (on facebook or twitter), lyrics, tour info and a suggestion of what they call the "essential" tracks of the artist that has been tagged. All the tags are also saved, so if you want to download them at a later time, you can. You can also preview the songs here as well. For me personally, I also use the app when I am watching a movie or a show on tv so I know what they are and so I can enjoy the songs at a later time. This app allows me to not only discover past songs, but new songs and artists as well.
Some of the popular gadgets it is available on include the iphone, ipod touch, ipad, android, blackberry, nokia, windows mobile 6 and windows phone 7.
I recommend this app for those who love music as much as I do, and for those who find it frustrating when they cannot remember the name of a great song. One of the best parts of this app? It's free on iTunes!! So check it out and let me know what you think.

I have this app and I love it! It drives me crazy when I hear a song and can't figure out the name of it. Who ever invented this app was a genious because it definitely comes handy!
