Shazam is a pretty popular free/paid application that helps you “name that song.” The app tags music that you hear and helps you figure out who played what you were singing along to. James over @IntoMobile spotted an updated version of Shazam that adds some minor feature additions that I thought were worthy of mention.
The new version 2.5 of Shazam allows you to:
- Watch music videos of tagged songs and more via YouTube
- Tweet tags to your followers
- Buy music direct from the 7Digital music store.
In case you don’t remember Shazam lets you tag 5 songs per month but you need to pay for more than that. They give you a 7 day trial to kick the tires if you are interested.

I just for an update using ShaZam (it has a “check for upgrade” option in the menu) and it’s still reporting that my version, 2.1.0, is the latest version!
Strange…
