S hazam, the world’s leading mobile music discovery provider, announced its top rated mobile application is now available across Europe on the Android platform, following its successful launch in the UK and US markets in 2008. Shazam allows users to identify music by holding their mobile phone towards an unknown song and ‘tagging’ a track. Users can then go on to purchase tracks through the Amazon MP3 store, automatically access more information and become ‘friends’ with artists through their MySpace pages. Shazam was the third most popular application when the Android Marketplace launched, and since has generated more than 6,000 reviewers giving it a 4.5 star out of 5 star rating.
