Mobile music discovery company Shazam has revealed that it has been used by 20 million customers to identify music tracks across the world. The milestone marks a significant landmark in the evolution of mobile music, says Shazam, noting that to date, users have identified over 100 million tracks using the Shazam service.
Launched six years ago as the first mobile-specific discovery service, Shazams initial  service has evolved into a successful client application that is pre-loaded on mobile devices by many of the worlds leading carriers and handset manufacturers.
Shazam is rapidly becoming a worldwide phenomenon, and not a second goes by today without someone using Shazam to discover and share music experiences, says Shazam CEO, Andrew Fisher. We are seeing consumer adoption of Shazam increase dramatically and believe that music recognition will become a ubiquitous feature on mobile phones. By working closely with industry leading handset manufacturers and carriers, Shazam is now embedded in tens of millions of handsets worldwide and we expect that by the end of 2009 Shazam will be available on more than 250 million devices.
