Motorola To Include Shazam On Handsets

Apr 5, 2005, 3:39 PM by (staff)

Shazam announced they have completed a deal with Motorola to include a new version of their music recognition software on select Motorola phones. Shazam and Motorola have worked together to create an application for phones to recognize songs just by playing them into the phone with the application running. Once the song is matched to Shazam's database, users can get information on it and buy the track, album or a ringtone. Shazam is already available to UK subscribers, however that service requires users to call up a phone number and play the song into a centralized server.
