I heard of it and thought wow, when I have a song stuck in my head but don't know the name, this App would help me to find it.
But it only worked if the real song is playing right now.
When that is the case, I'm either in a club and can ask the people there what it's called. Or I'm on a video/music streaming site where the name in 99% of the cases is written out.
Okay, sometimes I have a wrongly tagged MP3 or hearing some song in the background of an ad that I like to know the name of, but that happens only <4 times a year.
Are my music-listening-habits so different from the rest of the world?
Where do most people listen to music without the possibility to get the name of the work?
Sometimes it's easier to open up an app and see what's playing then go up to the coffee shop employee and ask them what was just on the radio. Then if they don't know, yell to everyone there if anyone knows what song just played.
Funny thing is, after writing this post, I remembered an mp3 I had long time, which I didn't know the artist to and shazam found it after 3 seconds listening.

Shazam is a mystery to me.

www.midomi.com and soundhound also works by humming or singing the song, I don't know why shazaam hasn't integrated this into its features.
I use Shazam most often in bars and restaurants.
