No need to type or tap, just hound it. It's easy:
- Tap the Hound button. - Speak immediately and clearly, into your iPhone's microphone (bottom of device or through mic-enabled headsets on iPods). You can say a song and artist like “Just the Way You Are by Bruno Mars." Or you can just say a band's name or a song title: “Mumford & Sons” or "Fall for You." - After speaking, tap the Hound button again. - (Power user tip for even faster response: you can also press and hold the Hound button, speak, and then release the button.)

I LOVE THIS APP IT'S AMAZING AND IF YOUR READING THIS MAKE SURE TO DOWNLOAD IT IM VERY VERY VERY VERY PICKI WITH APPS SO YOU KNOW THIS IS GOOD
Just found this on my phone. Don't remember downloading it. Ive never used it and I am trying to figure out exactly what it's for? Anyone?
I love the app mainly as an alternative to the music app because it has a nice setup and has the livelyrics. The current version is very glitchy, pausing songs when switching and closing randomly but is otherwise very nice!
Sound hound does everything this app does and more. Get the other version instead, it's still free .
1 star is over credit for this horrible app.
So far so good. It even has a few gospel artists as well.
This app is awesome. Forget the main advertised feature of telling it song--who cares about that?! Try playing your music through its interface with iTunes. It pulls up the lyrics and advances as the song progresses...now turn your device to landscape to see karaoke style display. It's just too cool.
