We're sure that there's not one amongst us who hasn't had a tune going around in their head, driving them crazy as to the artist/name of track.
If that sounds familiar to you then fear not as our regular app feature is here to help, bringing you all the latest a greatest updates to the world of the app. Pocket-lint's app of the day is proud to present Shazam on the Orange App Shop.

Shazam, the popular music discovery application, is now available to Orange customers in France and the UK on a range of handsets and will help make those tiresome what-tune-is-that moments a thing of the past.
Shazam gives instant satisfaction for those times when users want to know what song is playing. By simply holding up a mobile towards the music playing you can learn more about the artist, buy the song immediately – from the Orange Music Store – or just sate your desire for music knowledge.
This knowledge will come at a price, as if you want unlimited song identification, recommendations, biographies and album reviews it'll cost you 3 of your hard-earned pounds a month. There is, however, a free version, which will identify five songs for you. Shazam will be tightly integrated with Orange Services meaning Orange customers can quickly and easily buy a tagged song on Orange Music Store with a few clicks.
Handsets manufacturers include: Sony Ericsson, LG, Samsung and Nokia.
