CTIA 2009: Shazam for BlackBerry Video Demo

Great app, but terrible with the storm. One of the only apps I've used that doesn't properly work when not in compatibility mode.

if anyone is a big music nerd or has lots of music on itunes, double twist is the way to go. because i have a mac, it is the closest thing i have to a desktop manager, with media. just a simple drag puts all my music on my phone. and its free.

Amazon has amazing prices on CDs and they don't really change that often. All things being equal, if a digi download is 9.99 or the real CD is 9.99....I want the real CD. Its kind of nice to have a hard copy sometimes.

Does anyone have an ETA on when this will be avalable for the 9530?

the listening part is cool, but just something about buying music from my phone i dunno...

im going to agree with CWCANTY, buying having a hard copy is always better.

i wish the premium version was available for free as well... isn't it free for iphone users? sigh, no love...

I love Shazam... don't get me wrong. I am very happy it's finally here for BlackBerry. However, the current version doesn't even work with the BlackBerry Storm's touch screen. I hope they upgrade the version soon :(

I'm surprised how well this app works, even in a restaurant i was able to identify the song being played over the sound system. I really could care less about the ability to purchase music with it, since it's easier to just go home and download whatever song I'm looking for.

Nice app...it works great on the Bold. I'll take a CD over MP3 anytime (the whole lossy vs. lossless music debate). A CD usually only cost a dollar or two more than it's MP3 equivalent, and I can rip it to whatever compressed format I want for portable use.

RATED! *deleted*

I received an email reply from Shazam about Storm compatibility and they are apparently 'working on it' and it will be available 'later this year'... for whatever that's worth. They also said something about providing uniform features and pricing across 'all platforms', so we can either expect iPhoners to have to start paying, or we will get something for free... your guess is as good as mine.

I'm extremely anal about my music, if a track doesn't have complete tag info and cover art, it doesn't get into my music folder/ipod. I've had a couple rare house songs sitting in the "unidentified" folder on my desktop for years, and shazam identified them with no problem.

I'm not sure of the differences between the basic and enhanced versions, but I'd imagine the basic functionality of this program (identify watever music is playing) is free - once I know what it is I'm sure I'll be able to get the song, one way or another.

Did anyone notice the white keys on the 8900 in the picture, sorry but I seen the keyboard and I got excited!

I was.. and boy was it bothering me! Until i came across this Shazam OTA link below:

Copy & paste this link to an email and open it up thru your browser on your Storm.... select download and SHAZAM! You have it! Enjoy!

I installed this on my wife's Curve 8330. She tried it out over the weekend and two of the four songs she try to identify didn't work. She found it funny that the two not identified were country. The Songs were not recent so that is out. She wanted to test drive it while it was free. So far not impressed.

I have it on my Storm and have used it. It does have it compatibility issues but easy to deal with.

Can't wait for the Storm Version... I don't mind paying for some apps and this is one of them... Very useful. In compatibility you can't see the things you tagged without changing back but I can see a use for this especially... Tag stuff all night while you are out and review to download when you have time...

Is this app as cool as it looks? So many times I hear a song I like and don't know who sings it. I am definately going to try this one out.

..this app is full of fail until they fully support the Storm.

It's like a car manufacturer releasing a car that can't be driven in 25 states. What product manager thought that was a good idea?

For starters - obviously FREEEEE would be the best way to go. Put the iPhone version to shame.

Overall, it only needs 10sec of recording time, but I'd like to see the response time a bit faster.

I was @ the Jays Home Opener last night (SWEET GAME, btw) and I was able to tag a few songs over the loud speaker - even with some minor crowd noise.

Sweet App....holding out for the FREEE tag. But will purchase at the low cost of only $5.
