The app takes a sample of the song, identifies it and gives you information on the artist, track and album. The app has been downloaded over 1 billion times and has been installed on over 150 million phones.

Shazam is a very useful app. I've used it a lot of times when I'm in a bar or a party and I hear a nice song that I want to know.
