Shazam Review, a Program for the iPhone
If you know your comic books, you know that "shazam" is a sort of magic word said by Billy Batson to transform himself into the superhero Captain Marvel. It's fitting (and maybe even intentional) that this program, which identifies music just by "hearing" it, is called Shazam because it feels like magic.

Rhapsody is a unique subscription service that provides access to more than 11 million songs in a variety of genres.

VEVO is a popular music video website, and the corresponding free app promises to bring some of the experience to the iPhone. The app has over 25,000 music videos to choose from, but will sketchy performance put a damper on all the fun?

If you listen to NPR for its music content, you’ll undoubtedly be pleased with the NPR Music app. Those who like a lot of variety, however, should look elsewhere.
8tracks Radio iPhone App Review
The 8tracks Radio app is unique in the world of iPhone music apps. It features user-submitted online music mixes to help you find and discover new music, but how do "handcrafted" playlists compete against other top music apps?
