SoundHound for iPad
Published December 1, 2011 | 
SoundHound is a music discovery app for your iPad (iPod Touch and iPhone as well). SoundHound can listen to any song playing through a speaker and identify it for you in a matter of seconds. Ever had a song stuck in your head but you didn’t know the name of it? Simply sing or hum the tune into SoundHound and the app will identify it for you.
Once a song is recognized, information about the artist and the song is readily available for you. You can access Youtube vids, Wikipedia entries, artist website, lyrics, etc.. Version 4.1 includes LiveLyrics, which will play the lyrics for you in real time with the song. You can easily share your discovered music on Facebook and Twitter and get Twitter updates from your favorite artist as well. Save your discoveries to SoundHound so you can access them at a later time.
The app’s What’s Hot What’s Not list gives you feedback about what songs are currently popular and what songs aren’t. SoundHound gives you instant access to those artist and their associated social media outlets as well.
This is a great app for new music enthusiasts and it’s also very useful for music producers because of its song identifier. No more listening to songs you’d like to sample or remix while wondering how you’re going to find out where the song came from. Let SoundHound identify it for you, save that discovery, and then you can access that information when you need to.
