I wrote about Shazam a while back – and now it’s live, and it works! It just guessed “Les fleurs” by Minnie Ripperton for me, which I thought would be a challenge. Of course, now I really have to try it on something I don’t know…

“Hear a tune on the radio, in the car, at the pub or anywhere the music is loud enough. Hit TBD to tag the tune, Shazam listens to the tune with you for 20 seconds and sends you a txt message with the name of the artist and the tune. You don’t need a special phone and you don’t even need to register to start tagging. Shazam has almost every track available, apart from classical music.

Now I just need someone out there on the lazyweb to pipe shazam through to audiogalaxy for me…
