Never miss a beat again: Shazam for Android now has an 'Auto' listening mode
8

Well, the new "Auto Shazam" mode that enters the fray with the freshest Shazam app edition in the Play Store comes to rectify the slow start annoyance on Android as well, and then some. When activated, the app will keep listening in low-power mode, indicated with an icon in your status bar, and automagically recognize, then store each tune it hears for future reference. Not bad for long car trips or nights out in the club, though it remains to be determined how much battery this Auto Shazam mode will consume if left to its own devices for hours on end.
