Shazam’s magic revealed!

Shazam is an application on the iPhone that accomplishes amazing task. If you hear a song on the radio or in a store or bar, and you can’t recall the title and artist, Shazam will tell you what the song is. You hold the phone up to capture about 10 seconds of music, and just a few seconds later after communicating with its remote servers Shazam will identify the song and give you the opportunity to buy it or hear it on Youtube.

This seemed almost like magic to me. Well, now I know, thanks to an article in
