The MySpace Android application is also collaborating with Shazam, a mobile music name-that-song provider.

“We are excited about this collaboration,” said Andrew Fisher, CEO of Shazam. “It allows users to discover music at the point of inspiration and benefit from MySpace’s’ unique and rich content.”
