 Windows Marketplace for Mobile, Microsoft Corp.’s new mobile store that allows users to browse and download mobile applications to more than 50 million existing Windows Mobile devices, operates on an innovative new operating system that gives users access to quality applications through a seamless shopping experience. Shazam allows users to discover and share music simply by holding a phone up to a song as it is playing. |
The Shazam application has been downloaded by more than 8 million users on the iPhone App Store and is among the most popularly downloaded applications on BlackBerry App World, Nokia’s Ovi Store and Google’s Market.
Users of the free Shazam application will have the ability to discover up to five songs per month and have the option to share their discovered music. Premium users will get unlimited tagging capabilities plus additional features that include:
- Access to Shazam’s Tag Charts which indicate what music and which artists are hot and are being tagged by Shazam users in country
- Recommendations for similar tracks based on the tagged songs and artists
- Biographies of tagged artists and bands
- Music and album reviews, and discographies
New users will be offered the opportunity to trial the full-featured Shazam application for seven days, after which they will be prompted to purchase it or revert to the limited, free edition.
At launch, the Shazam applications on Windows Marketplace for Mobile will be available in English in more than thirty markets around the world. Shazam expects to roll out multi-language versions in the coming weeks.
