TuneUp Gives Shazam and SoundHound a Run for Their Money

Music tagging on iOS devices has been dominated thus far by two apps: Shazam and SoundHound. TuneUp, previously known solely for their iTunes cleaning plugin, has now launched their own music identification app in the App Store.

Until now, TuneUp has been known prominently for its iTunes and Windows Media compatible plugin that helped users to clean their music library. With its astounding ability to correct wrong song titles and provide accurate album artwork, it's a great service in itself if you've got a huge iTunes library. Unlike the plugin, though, the new application that launched few days back allows you to identify any song that's playing.

Dubbed TuneUp Mobile, you can download the application from iTunes for free. Unlike Shazam and SoundHound, TuneUp Mobile doesn't have different versions of the same application that allow only a certain amount of music tags per day.
