Just yesterday, we had reported on the rumored Android music app. Well, until Google’s official music application doesn’t come out, audiophiles can enjoy the freshly added benefits of SoundHound. An application released on both the App Store and the Android Market, it has upgraded to version 3.6.
“Fans of SoundHound drive the direction of the product and their enthusiasm has catapulted us into a leadership position. In recognition of this, we are delighted to announce today that SoundHound is now unlimited and free to use for everyone. We’re firing on all cylinders and have built strong momentum across various planes in 2010. In particular, the dramatic 500 percent increase in new SoundHound users and the increased usage of the app—1,000 percent—emphatically demonstrates user engagement and puts us at the tipping point of mobile music search,” stated Keyvan Mohajer, CEO of SoundHound.
The free app previously allowed users to ID only five songs, however now handset owners can ID as much music as they like. The new upgrade even brings along some features like Multi-Share, Auto-Share and Auto Comment Personalization. Further, the app proffers faster response time for certain searches and updated graphics. It even fixes up some known issues and integrates links to various sites like iTunes, YouTube, Pandora, Twitter and Facebook, amongst others.
Version 3.6 of the free SoundHound application can be downloaded from the App Store and the Android Market.
