Shazam Introduces Free Music Player App For iOS Called ‘Shazam Player’

Update 1: This app is only available in the US App Store. For those with US iTunes Accounts, you know what to do.

Shazam, the famous mobile phone based music identification service with apps for iOS, Android and Windows Phones that let you identify the name of the song being played, has just introduced a brand new app for iOS called Shazam Player. The app, which is now available as a free download in the App Store, is a full featured music player for iOS with options like streaming lyrics, tour dates from artists, YouTube videos, artist biographies, and even the ability to buy new tracks from iTunes within the app.

As noted by 9to5Mac:

“Besides the ability to play music, Shazam Player can also identify songs similar to the original Shazam app can. From there, you can launch iTunes from within the app to preview or purchase the song. You can share music with your Facebook and Twitter friends. The ability to view tour dates and bios from your favorite artists right within the app is very cool.”

Below is the official iTunes description.
