No more creepy than Shazam or SoundHound. You'd be amazed at the number of people that want to share the song they're listening to, or the show they're watching, as part of a status update.

This should happen based on active request, not passively by snoop-mic.

Got this from someone else's Google search, apparent it took them less than a minute to find this, their Google-fu is clearly greater than my own :-)
