As part of what seems as the “out-Shazam Shazam” strategy, SoundHound announced free unlimited music recognition of its music search and discovery application. Until now, users of the free version of SoundHound have been limited to five music IDs per month.
As far as I’ve understood, the new unlimited free offering is for the iOS and Android platforms only and is not available for Symbian (at least the press release doesn’t mention other platforms).
Of course, the premium, ad-free version called SoundHound Infinity is still available.
Finally, SoundHound also used the opportunity to share some of its achievements in the past year:
- It has been a No. 1-ranked music application with global reach spanning 200 countries: No. 1-ranked music application on Apple’s AppStore in more than 25 geographies, best seller on Nokia’s Ovi Store, and top-ranked music application on Android Market;
- SoundHound’s mobile user base has increased by 500%, while usage has increased by 1000% with millions of hits per day.
- In a world first on mobile: Premiered a new music single by Secondhand Serenade.
You can download SoundHound from your mobile app store or from the app’s official website.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
