SoundHound, the popular music identification app, just keeps getting better and better. A host of great new features were introduced in Soundhound's 4.0 update like LiveLyrics (a karaoke-style way to view the lyrics of what you're listening to) and artist social updates (Twitter and Facebook). Now, Soundhound 4.3 debuts a user-requested feature: savable searches, which allows you to save any missed songs to your search history to be tried at a later time, along with a "listen-on-start" feature for the iPad.
If you are unfamiliar with Soundhound, here is some info from the app's release notes:
Soundhound is available to try for free in the App Store. Personally, I think this is a great app. It does surprisingly well at identifying songs I hum, even when I try to do a poor job. Is Shazam still relevant?
