When was the last time you used Midomi?

I think it's pretty well established that Midomi is faster and has better music recognition than Shazam. There's a few video comparisons out there that show this:

Yeah, I used it way back when it first got posted on the App Store.

I reinstalled it based on your post and used it in Starbucks earlier, where it definitely worked better than Shazam.

Still can't recognize my humming, but that might be my fault more than Midomi's...
