Mobile music discovery service Shazam has launched its Shazam Encore application on the Apple App Store. Shazam has enjoyed over 10 million downloads from the App Store to date, and Shazam says the new app will make it even easier for iPhone and iPod touch users to learn more about the music they love.
Shazam Encore offers faster performance, enabling users to tag tracks more quickly; music recommendations; a search facility from a database of over 8 million songs; and a Drive and Tag feature, which automatically switches Shazam into Car mode when the iPhone is placed in an in-car dock to make it simple to discover whats playing on the radio while driving.
Shazam will continue to support the existing free Shazam app on the App Store with new users limited to five Tags per month. This free app has also been enhanced with services such as the ability to share Tags onto a Facebook mini-feed. 
Since our launch on the App Store, Shazam has achieved a huge following with iPhone and iPod touch users, and is now one of the most popular music apps in the world, says Shazam CEO, Andrew Fisher. We have listened to our iPhone and iPod touch users and have created a new app which answers their requests to take them on an enhanced music journey that will change the way music lovers experience and learn about music.
The Shazam Encore app is available for 2.99/3.99/$4.99, depending on location, from the App Store. Both Shazam apps are live in 22 countries across the world, with local language versions available in English (UK and US), German, Italian, Spanish, French, Dutch, Portuguese and Japanese.
