Shazam brings auto listening to Android

Saying this feature has been a long time coming is an understatement. After about two and a half years, Shazam finally decided that Android users could enable its auto listening feature. What this feature does is it keeps the app on in the background to listen to whatever tunes are playing. You no longer need to whip out your phone when you want to quickly capture a song you discovered you like. This’ll come in handy at the next party you go to or while you drive and you hear a song you like on the radio. Of course, you have to be prepared for the battery drain. But you can opt to just turn it on in places where you think you’d be listening to good music.
