How to get details of any unknown song using Shazam mobile app

Shazam is a music and TV identification mobile application which gives you details of a song or a TV program when you come across unfamiliar songs or TV programs.

Shazam works amazingly, and it will beat you if you are just testing it for the first time, I went to an eatery with a friend, the environment was very noisy and the TV was playing a very nice but unfamiliar song, my friend brought out his mobile device held it just a bit put to catch the music in the lousy environment, personally I felt he was recording the song, which will be so lame as all he could have recorded will be louse, but amazingly he withdrew the phone and showed me the song’s name, artist and album details…I was wowed.

Shazam is available on Nokia, android, iOS, windows mobile and blackberry devices.

How Shazam works
You might be wondering how it really does work, seriously nobody will blame you for wondering as I was also very curious at first then I was able to know how it works.
Shazam identifies songs based on an audio fingerprint based on a time-frequency graph called a spectrogram, spectrogram, is a visual representation of the spectrum of frequencies in a sound, so its really not possible or probably rare to have two songs with same spectrogram.
Shazam have more than 15 million audio fingerprints on its database, so when you tag a song on the app, it creates an audio fingerprint of the song you are listening to and try to match it on its database, when a match is found then you get the details of the song.
