Shazam

Shazam is a mobile app, which can identify almost any song by its snippet. Learn the title of the tune and the artist's name behind it. Find the full song on YouTube. Browse lyrics in real-time. Share your discoveries with the fiends and check the app's own chart with the most shazamed tracks. Downloading Shazam will give it all to you. 

Functionality

Thanks to its clever algorithm and gargantuan database, Shazam can identify any track. Whenever you hear something incredibly catchy, but have no idea what it could be:

• Grab your smartphone.
• Hit the Shazam! button.
• Enjoy the sweet ear candy.

Shazam promptly shows you the song title, bands or singer's name, date of release, genre, lyrics, etc. Moreover, there'll be a YouTube link so you can check the full version or the music video.

Shazam isn't limited to the position of your music butler only. It can also recommend music in a similar genre: songs, hit singles, albums, etc. E.g. if you Shazam and old-school track The Message you'll be offered to check De La Soul, Run DMC, Biz Markie, and other proto-rappers. 90's classics? 2Pac, Wu-Tang, Gang Starr, Brand Nubian, and even Eminem's first LP will be on the menu.

Whatever music treasure you find - they can be shared with your friends via Spotify. And also you can always stop by Shazam's own music chart, in which "most wanted" records are featured.

Design

Shazam's interface is clean and laconic. There are tabs with the last shazamed tracks, Tag Chart, lyrics, etc. And Shazam button itself goes glitchy very seldom.
