MWC 2009: Shazam and Samsung Team Up with New Features

No, we’re not talking about the Captain Marvel comic book series: Shazam is a mobile music discovery provider, which at Mobile World Congress today announced it is embedding its technology in the Samsung BeatDJ (M7600) and BeatDISC (M6710).

Shazam introduces new features, such as Find Similar, which offers users suggestions to other tracks they might like based on the track they just tagged. The Find Similar feature is based off of the other 35 million Shazam users who provide similar tags based on a certain track.

Another new feature is the Find Tag. Users can use this to trace details of existing tracks on their phone where some of the information is either missing or wrong. Simply select a track within the Find Tag feature, and information, like the title, artist, album, and genre, is added to the track.

These new Samsung handsets will be available worldwide by April for the Samsung BeatDJ and May 2009 for the BeatDISC.
