Phone 2580 from your mobile, and hold it up to a speaker playing any song at all. It'll hang up itself, and then send you a text message with the title and artist!

You can get the pricing here: http://www.shazam.com/uk/do/help_costs (it's 50p per go, but worth the curiosity)

I couldn't believe that this works, and I'm yet to stump it.


Susie, who even dug out a 2 Unlimited album

Welcome to last year!!1!

We tried RnB,dance,rip hop seems to recognise any type of music. Apparently it just check the sample of music it gets down the phone against its data base of millions of songs. Worked everytime we tried it.

I just tried Fingal's Cave by the Merthyr Tyddfil South Welsh Philharomic Orchestra, and it got it wrong.

Busted should never have existed in the first place IMO, most over-rated teeny bopper tosh since Take That IMO.

Take That were good though, although I wouldn't have admitted that at the time.
