Shazam updated to 1.7, adds location awareness

They basically copied the latest tunewiki update for android.

This app sounds great, I'm putting it on my shopping list...

Midomi is complete rubbish and doesn't work on most music I put into it. The humming/singing feature has NEVER worked for me.

If you look at the number of comments and support Apple give Shazam over Midomi you kinda know which one is the king (they did a TV ad ffs).

Why do people tweet what they just ate for breakfast. People like sharing what they do.

The 1.7 update has totally made the app useless.

1) when I press tag now the app looks like it is working, then crashes upon completion. When I open the program back up the song IS there.

2) when I touch a song to see more information, I get a screen telling me it could not tag the song.

3) the cd artwork that used to show up along with the name and artist on the landing page no longer show up.

4) sporatically, the app will begin listening and then tell me that I do not hAve a microphone connected.

5) there are no settings for the app in the app itself or in settings, so no Twitter or location tagging.

Anyone know wassup with this?

I agree, midomi all the way!!

god thats creepy, I shazaammed the same song yesterday.

Personally, I think Shazam is fantastic. Just imagine what life would have been like if we'd had toys like this when we were kids!

Holy crap, someone get this guy some valium or something. Did you miss your morning coffee? Great, so you don't like the app... why waste energy griping about it?

Ads have been in earlier than that... I thought more like 1.2 or so.
Greed? I'm not sure that's entirely accurate. You gotta keep the lights on somehow, especially with the app's popularity. Servers and bandwidth don't grow on trees regardless of how they "make their money elsewhere."

Google has ads—that must mean they're greedy too right?

I still prefer Midomi.

It's also been updated a bunch, and also includes GPS and Twitter features, as well as Facebook.

But even better, it also let's you search for songs in other ways than just listening to it.

Midomi amazingly let's you hum or sing a song yourself, and it will almost always still find it! It also let's you type in a keyword, artist, lyric, etc and will do a search. All of these are great when you are trying to think 'who sings that song that goes like this...' ?

Much more flexible that limiting you to only find the song while it's playing over some speakers.

Plus, Midomi has been doing a ton of search optimizations. So the app runs about 4 times faster than it use to in finding songs, and runs much faster than Shazam now. In fact, it's so much faster and offers so many features, I finally stopped using Shazam at all and deleted it from my iPhone.

If you haven't given Midomi a try, you should.

"Useful"..It's insane. Mayby the best use of home computing power/intelligence i have ever seen.
