Shazam, a mobile music discovery provider, last week announced a native version of its mobile application will be available for iPhone on the new Apple App Store. Already an industry standard, Shazam fully integrates with and complements the iPhone, allowing users to seamlessly discover, buy and share tunes simply by holding their iPhone to music for just a few seconds.

"Shazam on the iPhone allows users to discover, capture and share their experiences through music and images to fully encapsulate that moment." said Andrew Fisher, Shazam's CEO. "Shazam is inherently linked to the one device that is always with you - the mobile phone - and as such provides an instant link to the emotions and memories that sound evokes."

The Shazam mobile application enables music lovers to tap into a vast database of nearly five million tracks, giving instant satisfaction for those times when users want to know the tune that is playing, learn more about the artist, buy the song immediately - or simply add it to their playlist. Shazam also exploits the iPhone's rich visual experience to allow users to view music videos with links to YouTube and share their memorable moments with their friends and family by attaching photos to the tag.

Following seven years of focused effort in the mobile music space, Shazam has delivered a comprehensive and easy to use music services to consumers. Shazam's one-touch service is sensitive enough to recognize tracks within just three seconds, even when the volume is low and in environments with significant background noise.
