I seriously hope this is good enough even for the lawyerly folks out there.

It's probably the biggest thing to happen in this space since the release of the iPhone version of Shazam!

Who uses Shazam anymore? SoundHound is way ahead in recognition capability, especially in noisy environments.

Whenever I have a chance to use both, it's seriously a tossup- it depends on the song, environment, and phone, but they're usually equivalent in my experience.

The main reason I use Shazam over SoundHound is simply that SoundHound doesn't have a Windows Phone 7 app.
