Just read about this (free) app for music, got it. Is it better than SoundHound or Shazam? That's the question. :-) (One Thursday night a few months ago on campus, I liked the music that was on a video being shown at the UofN-Kona campus Gathering. SoundHound almost immediate (on my iPod touch) showed what this pretty obscure music was. :-)
