- lozenge 9y agoI think it was inevitable that this feature would get built into phone OSes and at that point nobody would want a separate app.
- jclardy 9y agoIt already is available on both the iPhone and Android through Siri/Google Assistant. Just ask them "What song is this?" This just seems to be an extension of it so you don't need to ask, the phone can just display the album info passively when you pick up the phone. Of course Apple's integration is already using Shazam for the actual identification, but you don't need the app installed. Hard to compete with that if you aren't integrated at an OS level.
