The track information is presented in a friendly manner and well organized, as the tags appear in the order in which they were added. Thus, from the My Shazam section you can check out the song and artist names, as well as the exact date and time you Shazamed that music track,
The live tile is a welcomed addition because it will enable yo to view at a glance, right from the Start screen, which was the last song identified with the help of this application.
Tap and play to work the magic
Operating Shazam could hardly be simpler and the main functionality of the app can be accessed with one tap, regardless of the menu you are currently in. Basically, all you will have to do is press the button in the middle of the screen and make sure the music is loud enough and the handset close to the source so as the sound can be detected by the microphone and sent to the application.
In a matter of seconds, the result will be displayed and you will see the name of that song and of the performing artist(s). There are also some quick links to help you get the song from Xbox Music, view the lyrics or check out some of the video clips that are available on YouTube.
Quick sharing abilities
You can easily let your friends know about any song that you successfully identified with the help ofShazam using the built-in sharing capabilities that the app offers.Thus, you have the possibility to send the reference link from Shazam's database through an SMS quick message, via email or using one of the social services you subscribed to.
Unfortunately, not all the tracks you play to this app can be recognized because even if the database is continuously expanding, some songs are still left out. Also, for others the lyrics and album art are missing, mainly because they are less popular or simply older music tracks.
