Shazam
Identify the music playing around you in seconds
Shazam is a music recognition app that identifies songs playing in your environment in real time. It also lets users explore charts, lyrics, upcoming concerts, and radio spins. The app is available on iOS, Android, and other devices and is owned by Apple Inc.
Users open the app or tap a button and Shazam listens to ambient audio, matching it against its database to identify the song within seconds.
