Shazam was introduced in the market back in the year 2002 and since then it has only seen a rise.

Just let this software hear parts of that song and it will tell you all. It takes on the part of that song and matches it against a vast directory of songs. And much like facial recognition, it recognizes the song and gives you all the information that you need to know.

And also, why you must have this app. When you hear a song that might like, the first thing you need to do is get your phone out and open Shazam. Open the app and go for the music recognition part.
