In reply to deedee. This app doesn't exist anymore - it hasn't for a long time. Shazam is free and in the App Store and does this well.

hsep – Erica’s site mentions that you should only give it around 30 secs to contact the server – then just close and restart the app – I’ve had some songs where it works after several tries. I’ve also had some luck with holding the phone a little farther away from the speakers (odd as that sounds) …

Can’t get passed the “Finished recording. Contacting info server” page on any of the songs I tried it out on. I’ve seen a phone do this before and was amazed. This would be very impressive.
