I’m going to take a wild guess here and say that most people use Shazam just to identify songs, and have no idea that the software has a lot more features basically hidden under the hood. That’s why Shazam will receive an update today that brings a new UI placing real-time lyrics from and center right next to the video for the song you just tagged. The new app also make it easier to buy and/or stream content. The update should be available in the App Store shortly…

Ever rush to identify a song with Shazam with your phone, only to be frustrated as the tune ends before you’ve even reached into your pocket?

There’s still no corresponding Android update, but iPhone owners can start producing the soundtrack of their lives after a quick trip to the App Store.
