•Shazam. Ever wish you knew the name of a song you hear in the car or a club? Another free music-searching application, Shazam, can help. Hold your iPhone up as a song is playing, and Shazam will attempt to tag it, usually in less than 20 seconds. Shazam correctly recognized Patsy Cline's I Fall to Pieces, Joan Osborne's version of What Becomes of the Brokenhearted and John Lennon's #9 Dream. It missed a few obscure tracks and some opera. In some cases, you can buy an identified track in iTunes. Sorry, no humming.
