On: Apple has completed its acquisition of Shazam

[expathacker]

I'm hoping that this extra access to Apple's extensive music collection will make this usable for music other than what you would hear on MTV or the classic rock station. The potential of the application is great, but as somebody with limited interest in pop, I find myself lacking for a way to identify new music discoveries.

Shazam doesn't just work on pop music, I've used it successfully on some pretty obscure stuff.

It has to have been published "properly" though, which in the day and age of self-publishing directly to the net doesn't work so well.
