What is that song being played?

Ever listen to the radio, walk a store, or sit in a restaurant or bar and said "what is the name of that song being played? and who is the artist?" Well now you can with the help of Shazam, an application that appeared on the Apple app store when it was launched recently.

The application just works, no better way of putting it. You hear a song being played, you switch to the app on your iPhone and hit the "tag now" button. Shazam will listen to the song for about 10 seconds, send the information off to some central server and about 3-5 seconds later come back with Artist, Title and Album.

I am a huge geek, in fact I direct IT for my company, and this app blows my mind away. It is so powerful and well written. It hasn't missed a song yet, and it is smart enough to pick the song bits out in a convertible doing 50 mph. I am just floored by this app. If you have an iPhone check it out, if you don't have an iPhone this may be a good reason to get one.
