SoundHound for iOS and Android now does unlimited music recognition for free
SoundHound, a music recognition service that has quickly become Shazam's No.1 competitor on both iOS and Android, has just announced that its free app for those platforms will now let you do unlimited music IDs. Previously, only the paid SoundHound app let you do that, while the free version allowed just five song identifications each month. This was a model very similar, if not identical, to the one still employed by Shazam.
From now on though, both the free and the paid versions of SoundHound for iOS and Android will let you tag an unlimited number of songs. The freemium model doesn't go away, though. The free app will contain ads, while the paid app won't -- and more unique features may be added to it the future.
In addition to recognizing songs, SoundHound is also able to recognize hums and your attempts at singing any song you'd like to know the name to. Lyrics also show up in-app, you can perform a music search by voice, and you can also buy tracks from within the app.
SoundHound is also available for Nokia Symbian smartphones, but only in paid form.
You can get SoundHound for your mobile operating system of choice from its respective app store.
