Shazam Icon

There have been quite a few editions of Music Mondays where I hear the song once while I’m driving and really like it but have no way of knowing what song it is. Especially if the DJ doesn’t mention the title or the artist. This used to be a big problem, but not anymore.

Enter: Shazam

Shazam is a free app for the iPhone that identifies music wherever you are, as long as you have an internet connection. All you have to do is hold your iPhone up to the music source, be it in the car, at a coffee joint or a store you’re at and tadah (or should I say, Shazam!) and the song gets identified and now you know what that elusive song is. Pretty nifty, eh?

What other tips and tricks do you have for easy music identification?
