Shazam Gets 'Auto Shazam' Feature to Continuously Recognize Music Around You

Shazam, an app that can recognize music, has been updated with a new 'Auto Shazam' feature and improved sharing options.

Shazam recognizes music and media playing around you. Tap the Shazam button to instantly tag, and then explore, buy, share and comment. Tagging is unlimited, so use Shazam as much as you want.

Once you’ve tagged something, you can:
○ Buy from iTunes (and find others by the same artist)
○ Watch the videos on YouTube
○ Share tags on Shazam Friends
○ Use LyricPlay to sing along to streamed lyrics
○ Check out the artist’s bio and discography


You can also:
○ Preview and save your favorite tags
○ Share tags on Twitter, Facebook & G+
○ Explore what’s popular around the world with Shazam’s Interactive Maps
○ Tag without coverage, Shazam will match when you have a connection

What's New In This Version:
New for iPhone and iPod touch:
○ Auto Shazam does the hard work for you by continuously recognizing popular music and TV around you. Flip the switch on the Shazam home screen to turn on Auto Shazam, and automatically recognize while you commute or watch a movie, even if you leave the Shazam app or lock your phone.

New for all users:
○ Share Shazam Tags with friends on WhatsApp
○ Pin Shazam tags to your favourite Pinterest boards
○ Share Shazam Tags using iOS Messages
Fixes:
○ The app will not ask to use your location again if you have previously said no

You can download Shazam from the App Store for free.
