iPhone Audio Recognition App: Find out What's Playing on Radio using "Listen"

You are going to love this native iPhone application developed by none other then iPhone hacking legend Erica Sadun.

Have you ever liked a song on the radio only to feel helpless that you cannot find out what song it is? You won't have to feel helpless anymore if you have "Listen" as the name is aptly called installed on your iPhone as all you need to do is put your iPhone near the speakers and Voila! the native iPhone application will display the song, artist, and album.

In my opinion it is easily one of the coolest iPhone application, so go ahead check out the details after the jump.

If you do not have a Sony Ericsson phone like me which apparently already has this feature then quite frankly you will be amazed by this iPhone app (at least I was).

Erica Sadun, the iPhone hacking genius has been humble enough to admit that her latest native iPhone application called "Listen" was based on an idea from one of her readers.

So if you want to know the song playing on the radio, all you need to do is install Listen on you iPhone by downloading it from this link, launch it from your home screen and put your iPhone near the speakers. The native iPhone application samples the music for 5 seconds and if all goes well then it will display the song, artist, and album.

Based on user feedback it seems to work quite well and has even been able to give information on Brazilian and Old Swiss songs.

However, do remember the native iPhone application is still in beta so don't expect it to work all the time, though Erica seems to be rolling out newer versions (meaning more stable and improved versions) of the app at a fast clip (as I write this post she has already released Listen Beta 3).

As always do let us know how well the latest iPhone App "Listen" works in the comments below for the benefit of fellow readers.

Thanks Erica for another great iPhone application, you are a genius!
