Recommended iPhone App: Shazam

I think this app gives you a glimpse of the future. Basically, when you’re outside you hear a tune that you’re interested, you can use the app to record and upload a snippet of the song to Shazam, and it will return you with the info and details of the song. If it’s available on iTunes, you can also purchase the song.

I tried it a few times outside in restaurants, it worked most of the time. Unfortunately, it only works for English songs. But I think this is the future – instantly buy a song when you hear it outside or on the radio. Neat app, and it’s free =)
