You might have realised that you could get Shazam or SoundHound for your Android, Apple or BlackBerry
phone, either of which can be used to identify a song as it's playing.
But did you know that Google and Microsoft have also created their own
song identification tools?
Microsoft's is built right in to Windows Phone 8. While a song is playing simply tap the search button on your phone, then tap the music icon and it will get to work.
Google's solution is called 'Sound Search' and if it's not already built into your phone you can download it from Google Play.
It takes the form of a widget which you can simply tap on to identify something without even leaving your homescreen. It can only identify songs which are available on Google Play, but the upshot is they can then be purchased straight from the widget.
