Shazam - Find The Name Of A Track Just By Phone!

[Gareth]

Have you ever tried Shazam ?
Visit the website here: www.Shazam.com
all you do is phone a number, hold your phone out near some loud music and it text's you back with the artist name and song title.
Brilliant for when your dancing away in a club and want to know what a tune is (It's also a good reminder for the next day because almost definately you will have forgotten all about it after some pop).

Give it a try you will be impressed. It can't cope very well with really new stuff, obscure stuff or some mash-ups. But you can't expect it to be that good.
Does the job

Or if you have already got them as MP3s try this Database search

You can also text a question to 63336.

For example say: "Who sings the 80's song waiting for a star to fall?"

They will text you back within a few minutes with the answer: Boy Meets Girl had a hit in 1988 reaching number 9 in the charts. Cabin Crew also covered the track in 2005 which reached number 4.

And if you still can't find the name of a song or the year it was in the charts try www.everyhit.com

A bit of a long shot - if you only know some of the words in a song, search google for [google]lyrics[/google]
