I’ve been meaning to try out the SoundHound – the music identifier and discovery app – for a while now, since Thomas posted about its huge update a couple months back. Last night I got a chance to check out a set of superb demo videos for the app, and I was completely sold – I bought the app and I’m well happy with it.
I hate to say it, as Shazam has been one of my favorite ‘wow factor’ iPhone apps for ages, but SoundHound runs rings round it. It’s faster, offers voice and text search, and a number of other very cool features. Shazam is still a very nice free option for doing just quick ‘what is that song’ identification, but SoundHound offers that plus lots more.
If you’ve got a few minutes, the SoundHound demo videos are well worth a look – they’re really well done, give a great rundown of the app, and feature some great music selections. The videos were created by our colleague here, Thomas. So take that as disclosure and apply grains of salt as needed, but the videos are honestly superb to watch. Give them a look here:

And you can find the SoundHound app in the App Store now, priced at $4.99.

WOW … really cool to see a competitor come out of no where to compete with Shazam!
Just goes to show that there's plenty of room for business in the app store!
Thanks for sharing this … checking out the app now!
