I just bought an itouch and seem to remember there being some cool feature where if you hear a song playing, you can have the itouch listen to the song and tell you what it is. Am I right? How do I use it. I'm lost. Thanks!

Yes, you are correct. You need to download a (free) app. The app is either Shazam or Midomi (both do the same thing). Unfortunately, you need a microphone to use it, and I believe the iPod touch doesn't have a built-in mic. You'd need an external mic.

Download either the Shazam app or the Midomi Ultra app. Both were free last time I recall. :)

EDIT: Of course you'll need an external Mic. :)
