Segments

Mauricio Balvanera pits Shazam vs Midomi in the AppJudgment Showdown lab in order to determine which application is quicker, more accurate, and feature rich.

Most of us already know and love the iPhone audio fingerprinting application Shazam, but there's a fairly new underdog that goes by the name Midomi Music Identifier and Search (Ultra). Mauricio Balvanera, being the music geek he is, pits both iPhone apps against each other in a song recognition showdown, in order to determine which application is quicker, more accurate, and feature rich.
