[Download] "What's This Song?" Sound Search Widget From Jelly Bean (No Root Needed)

One of the new features that ships with Jelly Bean is Google's Sound Search widget that helps identify songs after listening to short samples. If you've ever used SoundHound or Shazam, you know exactly what this does. The difference is this widget is pre-installed on Jelly Bean, comes directly from Google, and hooks right into Google Play.

As it turns out, the widget works on ICS as well. I looked into the package and saw that compatibility goes back as far as Honeycomb, so I'm guessing it will install there too (sorry, no Gingerbread or below). I, however, don't have Honeycomb devices left anymore, so I have tested it on the EVO LTE running ICS, and it worked like a charm.

If you want to check out Sound Search (that's the official name, not Google Ears), just grab the APK compiled by lbrfabio. There's no need for root, manual pushing of libraries, or any hackery whatsoever - he's taken care of that. Just download and install.

Edit: Work as advertized but clicking on the widget takes you to the Google Play store where we can not buy it

So it's basically a Gracenote app? We been having it for 2 years already, but I guess it's nice that Android will feature built-in support and not leave it to the OEM's anymore.

Yeah but its actually useless for us South Africans, it finds the music but thats about it. If we had full Google access you could have bough the album/song with a single click.

At least it does demo the modular design of Android where we can get applications from the latest OS on any version.

Exactly. And the fact that these clowns dont realise how much money they are losing because of it - justifies them getting fckd.
