    Wasn’t SoundHound doing it way before Shazam? Man, SoundHound gets no love just because they didn’t wheel & deal their way onto the control center :-p

      I want to say I had both apps on my iPhone 3G or 4 back in the day. I recall that early on, Shazam returned results more often than soundhound.

        I only ever used SoundHound and never had any failure. Shrug in fact once it found a song my son couldn’t using Shazam. I imagine that could happen either way sometimes I’m just stating my experience. I don’t think either of them are vastly superior to the other just I thought SH was out there earlier. But I could be wrong.
