SoundHound now scavenging tunes in more tablet-friendly Android version

SoundHound reveals new Android tablet, Rdio friendly update

If you’ve ever had an earworm you just can’t put a name to, the SoundHound music recognition app — that even translates your humming — can be just the sorcery you need. There’s now an Android version with a more tablet-centric design and tighter Google integration that brings “streamlined sharing to Facebook, Twitter and more,” according to the company. It also trumpeted a stronger relationship with digital music service Rdio, which added interactive music mapping to its SoundHounded track-linking abilities, letting you see others across the globe with the same musical tastes and bad memory. You can grab it at Google Play or Amazon’s Appstore for Kindle, but if you’re as tone deaf as some of us, don’t forget the auto-tune.

Jelly Bean’s Sound Search feature now available root-free on ICS

Jelly Bean's Sound Search feature now available rootfree on ICSDid you know you can get a little squirt of Jelly Bean flavor in your Ice Cream Sandwich right now? It’s nothing mega — just a non-root APK for Google Sound Search, the new in-house rival to Shazam and SoundHound, courtesy of user “asdfzz” over at XDA. The widget, which is also known as “Google Ears,” currently works in a similar way to third-party apps, analyzing a track via remote servers and bringing up the result within Google Play, but in the future — according to Mobile Phones Fan — it could achieve faster speeds and better integration with other Google services by running natively within the OS. Of course, if you’re up for flashing a whole ROM, then Jelly Bean can already be had in its entirety.
