There’s an awesome song blaring, but you have no idea what it is. You can either helplessly listen as the mystery song comes to an end or let Shazam come to the rescue. All you have to do is hold up your smart phone, with Shazam turned on, and let it recognize the song for you. Not only does it identify the song name, but it also lets you know how you can download it. With Shazam’s informative magic, you can avoid having musically ignorant moments and come across as melody-savvy in any social setting involving music.
