This is a new feature in Shazam (or at least I only just noticed it!) allowing for real time sing-a-long style lyrics to be displayed as the song continues to play.
Requirement:
Provide the user with the lyrics for the song they just looked up (shazamed).
Simple solution:
Display the lyrics for the whole song.
Magical solution:
Display the current line from the lyrics whilst it is being sung. Repeat until the song ends. [This requires i dentify position in the song. Working out when the next line starts and how long that line takes to be sung (in advance).]
Icing on the cake:
Produce an attractive and quirky graphical display of the currently sung lyrics
Verdict:
I didn't want, require or expect this feature, but I love it. I am one delighted user.
Take a look:
I recorded of the feature in action:
The experience has the magical feel because it's execution and attention to details goes above and beyond user expectations.
