Shazam has your back.<\/p>\n<p>Shazam offers Android users  the opportunity to tag music, which listens to a 10 second snippet of  the song, and does the searching for you. Within about 30 seconds, the  song with all the information you need is tagged and stored in the  application so you can go back at your convenience and download the  song. Shazam also gives you the option to search the Amazon MP3 store,  do a search on YouTube to view the music video directly from the app, or  visit the artist\u2019s MySpace page.<\/p>\n<p>This app has really been a lifesaver for me, a guy who tends to be  pretty forgetful. I can\u2019t tell you how many times I have been in the  situation where I\u2019ve heard a great song on the radio and couldn\u2019t  remember what the heck I was listening to even as little as 10 minutes  later. Shazam has really been a blessing in that respect for me, and  has been a great way to expand my music library.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Final Verdict<\/strong>: This app is a must have for any music-lover. I have found   it to be one of the most useful apps Android offers, and really think   you will also. Hey, it\u2019s free; what do you have to lose?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pros<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Tagging is pretty damn accurate. I have been using Shazam for a while,  and it has found my songs with 100% accuracy<\/li>\n<li> Not over cluttered with features, has just what you need and nothing  more!<\/li>\n<li> Integration with Youtube, Amazon MP3, and Myspace<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> The one feature that would make this app perfect is the ability to  sync your tags online somehow. Maybe a shazam account where you can log  into your computer and go through your tags rather than having to do it  from your phone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Shazam is currently in version 1.3, and can be downloaded for the   low-low price of free on the Android Market.<\/p>\n<p><a href='http:\/\/androidandme.com\/2010\/04\/applications\/shazam-the-must-have-music-identification-app-for-android\/attachment\/shazam1\/' title='shazam1'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/androidandme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/shazam1-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" title=\"shazam1\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/androidandme.com\/2010\/04\/applications\/shazam-the-must-have-music-identification-app-for-android\/attachment\/shazam2\/' title='shazam2'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/androidandme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/shazam2-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" title=\"shazam2\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/androidandme.com\/2010\/04\/applications\/shazam-the-must-have-music-identification-app-for-android\/attachment\/shazam3\/' title='shazam3'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/androidandme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/shazam3-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" title=\"shazam3\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/androidandme.com\/2010\/04\/applications\/shazam-the-must-have-music-identification-app-for-android\/attachment\/shazam4\/' title='shazam4'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/androidandme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/shazam4-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" title=\"shazam4\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href='http:\/\/androidandme.com\/2010\/04\/applications\/shazam-the-must-have-music-identification-app-for-android\/attachment\/shazam5\/' title='shazam5'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"http:\/\/androidandme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/shazam5-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" title=\"shazam5\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Note: <\/strong> This review was submitted by Anthony Domanico as part of our <a href=\"http:\/\/androidandme.com\/2010\/04\/applications\/2010\/04\/applications\/2010\/04\/applications\/2010\/04\/news\/android-app-review-contest-week-1-recap\/\">app review contest<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3  class=\"related_post_title\">Related Posts<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"related_post\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/androidandme.com\/2010\/04\/reviews\/sms-backup-save-your-text-messages-in-gmail-clean-out-your-inbox\/\" title=\"SMS Backup: Save your text messages in Gmail, clean out your inbox!\">SMS Backup: Save your text messages in Gmail, clean out your inbox!<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/androidandme.com\/2010\/04\/applications\/starfield-3d-live-wallpaper-double-tap-to-engage-warp-engines\/\" title=\"Starfield 3D Live Wallpaper: Double-tap to engage warp engines\">Starfield 3D Live Wallpaper: Double-tap to engage warp engines<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/androidandme.com\/2010\/04\/applications\/keeper-a-free-personal-assistant-to-help-you-remember-your-passwords\/\" title=\"Keeper: A free personal assistant to help you remember your passwords\">Keeper: A free personal assistant to help you remember your passwords<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/androidandme.com\/2010\/04\/applications\/gstrings-a-must-have-app-for-any-musician\/\" title=\"gStrings: A must have app for any musician\">gStrings: A must have app for any musician<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/androidandme.com\/2010\/04\/applications\/where-the-definitive-all-in-one-travel-guide-app-for-android\/\" title=\"Where: The definitive all-in-one travel guide app for Android\">Where: The definitive all-in-one travel guide app for Android<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever have that moment where you are driving along and a song comes on that you really like but can\u2019t figure out who the artist is, or what the title of the song is for that matter?
