Description
PLEASE NOTE: We are aware of an issue whereby users who previously had unlimited tagging get restricted to 5 tags per month. We just deployed a temporary solution and this limit has been lifted. We are also working on a permanent solution and we will release it shortly. Users who previously had unlimited tagging will continue with this capability.
Lovin’ that tune? Shazam gives you instant satisfaction when you want to know what song is playing. Just point your phone towards the music source to identify and buy the track, or share your discovery with friends and family.
If you are a new Shazam user you’ll be limited to 5 Tags a month. If you’ve been using Shazam on your current iPhone/iPod touch since before 9th November 2009, you still receive unlimited tagging.
Or why not buy Shazam Encore - the premium version of our app. Encore comes with extra features including unlimited tagging, previews, recommendations and Tag charts. Shazam Encore is the fastest, slickest way to discover and share music. Launch Offer - In App upgrade to Encore
Start your music journey, and enjoy Shazam to:
• Discover and buy music: identify what song is playing; preview and buy the track direct on iTunes, or watch the video on YouTube.
• Share a music moment: Tweet your Tags, post track details to Facebook, or send a postcard to friends who share your music tastes.
• Learn more about music: read track and album reviews, view song lyrics* and artist biographies.
• Personalise your Tags: take and add a photo, or map your Tags, as a reminder of where you where when you captured the moment.
• Store pending Tags: when you don’t have a data connection, you can still capture the music moment. Untagged tracks will be sent when you’re back in WiFi or a data coverage area.
* Lyrics available in the US, Canada, Australia & New Zealand.
Buying music requires iTunes Music Store in your country.
A note to iPod touch users: Shazam needs to hear the music sample, which means using a microphone (on the iPhone it's built in, on the iPod touch you can attach an Apple Stereo Headset which has a small microphone capsule). Hold the mic towards the music source and Shazam will do the rest!

Customer Reviews
0 stars. Get soundhound.
Downgrading an app and removing features is beyond lowly and super shady. Way to show appreciation for your first supporters.
Bait & Switch scam !
This update stated a bug fix which turned out to be 5 limit tagging per month restriction. Wow, that was lowwww !
Update: Just tried Soundhound and it's even better than Shazam ! They are upfront about their business model & have cool ways to earn extra tagging credits for free if you don't want to pay 4 app. Goodbye Shazam ! I'll keep this app on last page of my phone just to post my review every time they upgrade this p.o.s. app. Shazam will try to erase these negative reviews by submitting updates so they can start fresh. Everyone should check back every once in a while to update their reviews so we can boycott this company who basically spit on every loyal customer's face by not honoring the "grandfathered in" policy.
Crippled App
Update has crippled this app. Only 5 tags per month, what BS!!! if this is the direction the developers wanted to go they should have done so from the beginning. Now they are just screwing their fan base. Get Soundhound instead!
