and Google will do it passively without ever needing to open it as an app. Listening 24/7 isn't a privacy invasion at all.
It uses an offline database of songs to make this feature work, without uploading your surrounding sounds.
I really enjoyed working at Shazam. One of my favourite parts were the hackdays, got to learn a lot. Here's a write up of visualising music recognitions: https://medium.freecodecamp.org/data-visualisation-with-1-bi... I've been planning to do more write-ups from past hackdays, such as building a functional Shazam experience in client side JavaScript and other visualisations. For example one time, I repurposed a WebGL…

Google Now natively supports song detection in surroundings. It is also pretty good at it, and Google will do it passively without ever needing to open it as an app. I used Shazam a long time ago, so dunno how it had changed, but it certainly isn't a novel idea.
Google Now won't detect music for you outside the US (Shazam does)

THAT is the kind of startup I wish I could work for.
Me too. Are there any similar startup with functional prototypes or products? Something like Shazam, or Theranos if it were actually legitimate and had a working product.

Seriously? Shouldn't that be gb's of data? If anything would be cloud dependent, I thought this would be it.

Wow. Is there any open-source equivalent for this. Would love to see the complexity of the job as it scales and the workarounds in actual code?
a) Include Node.js scripts for converting raw big data (the raw Shazam stream) into something usable for visualisations.
b) Contain Node.js scripts & utilities for automating the creation of maps focussed on particular geographic locations.
c) Contain client side JavaScript for displaying all the individual map tiles onto an interactive map & Google Maps API code to query for places of interest (like a club, shopping center) which may explain heavy usage of Shazam in a particular location.
For the globe, which is unrelated to the datamaps, here's the original WebGL globe which someone did in 2011: https://github.com/cedricpinson/globetweeter
The Wikipedia edits version of the globe I did: https://github.com/umaar/wiki-globe - happy to do a write up of this if people think it'll be useful.

So you want to pay extra to not pay extra?
Yes. Paying extra for the service itself, not an arbitrary charge that could vary greatly at any time seems worth it.

I don't go out much, but when I do, most music I've experienced seems to be tolerable at best and ear-assault at worst. I can only think of maybe 2 or 3 times in the past decade where I've heard music in a public location and was interested enough to want to know what song it was.
