After writing the last blog I mentioned the application Shazam and suddenly realised that some of you many have no idea what I am talking about.

Well here goes. Shazam is a very useful app for those of you who want to keep upto date with the music.

This tool has been available for many years at first though mobile phone calls but now with the advent of smart phones it is now available for iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Nokia, Windows Phone 7 and iPad.

What does it do?

So what does it do? Well if you hear a piece you do not know you hold your phone running Shazam up to the music and let it analyse it.

It sends this off to a central database and then the reply comes back with the name of the music. However this will only work with original recordings, your local band doing a live performance will not have the same effect.

So we at Supa Swap think Shazam is fantastic. Read more at their website http://www.shazam.com

Great little tool, the only thing is it has to be originals and not remixes , as id wont recognize remixes, and remember if there is a lot of background noise it wont work properly.

this is a great gadget, if your out then you usually hear a song but never know what it is, just press Shazam and it stores in your phone for later, its great.
