Shazam Entertainment is a privately held company headquartered in London and boasts the world's first music recognition technology. The company's music recognition service is widely recognised as the best, most accurate and fastest music recognition service in the world already boasting over 4 million tracks which date back to the early 1950s, one of the world's largest music databases.
The Shazam service is one of very few truly innovative and compelling mobile data applications that are available for today's basic wireless technologies: voice and SMS. Shazam also supports new wireless technologies including J2ME, BREW, GPRS, MMS, and 3G, but it does not rely on them to deliver a compelling end-user proposition.
Shazam's service is built around a patented proprietary pattern recognition technology that can identify recorded audio even under noisy conditions. This song recognition technology enables users to recognize, iD, and interact with any piece of music at the time they hear it. The Shazam service runs on a hosted service platform and is driven by Europe's largest music information database - over 4,000,000 music tracks, metadata and cover art.
Following the success of its music recognition service, the company has launched a complimentary music search service, which provides users with an additional way to access a wealth of music information and an opportunity to purchase relevant products and services. Available both on web and WAP portals, users can purchase mobile content (ringtones, wallpaper etc), full track music downloads and CD's.
