Shazam, the industry leader in music-recognition software, has released a WP8-dedicated app.
Hold your phone up to a source of music - and even TV shows - and the app will drag in details of what you're listening to...and offer purchases in Microsoft's Xbox Music Store and Nokia Music.
“We are incredibly excited about this launch as it brings so many of Shazam’s key features to Windows Phone 8 fans,” said Daniel Danker, Chief Product Officer for Shazam. “Windows Phone 8 users now have access to a great smartphone experience, from faster tagging and a new interactive map, where users can discover the music people are listening to around them. This is more than just the music that’s already popular; these are often songs people are discovering for the first time.”London-based Shazam says the app UI has been completely redesigned for Windows Phone 8 and now gives faster tagging.
It's a free download from the Windows Phone Store and is a major boost to Microsoft's attempts to get more big names for WP8.
