Shazam launches Windows Phone 8 app with links to Xbox music
Shazam has announced the launch of the new Shazam app for Windows Phone 8, which will include links to Xbox music and geo-tagging.
Users will be able to purchase tracks from Xbox music, check out local tagging activity via an interactive mapping feature, share content via social networks, and use the app with TV shows and ads that are of interest.
The app will also include key Shazam features that appear on other device applications, such as unlimited tagging, so that Windows Phone 8 users can tag music, TV shows and adverts that they like.
“We are incredibly excited about this launch as it brings so many of Shazam’s key features to Windows Phone 8 fans,” said Daniel Danker, chief product officer for Shazam.
“Windows Phone 8 users now have access to a great smartphone experience, from faster tagging and a new interactive map, where users can discover the music people are listening to around them. This is more than just the music that’s already popular; these are often songs people are discovering for the first time.”
The news follows the launch of a revamped Shazam app for iPad, which includes auto-tagging and real-time engagement.
