Shazam updated its Android application with a new feature – music previews. As a result, Shazamers are able to listen to a 30-second clip of a song they’ve tagged, helping them decide if they like it and want to buy it. What’s more, music previews will also work when browsing through tag history, friends’ tags in Shazam Friends, or tags featured in Shazam’s Tag Chart and Recommendations. On the downside, this feature is limited to users in select countries, including the US, UK, Germany, France, Austria and Switzerland.
In addition, the new version of Shazam for Android also comes with improved tag results page which now comes with larger cover art. Moreover, the location feature is also included, showing users where they were when they Shazam’d a track.
If you still don’t have Shazam installed on your Android smartphone, hit any of the two links below and take it from there. The Encore version rocks unlimited tagging as well as few extra bells and whistles…
