Download Shazam

Download the file, and extract the contents to the root of your phone (the zipped files are already in the correct directories)

then go to terminal and do the following:
Code:
devel-su     (default password is rootme)
chmod 777 /usr/bin/Shazam
Then you can run it by just using the icon on the homescreen on the N9/N950

To have an icon on the N900, you need to move the desktop file first (the whole command is 1 line):
Code:
mv /usr/share/applications/Shazam.desktop usr/share/applications/hildon/
From wikipedia:
Shazam is a commercial mobile phone based music identification service, with its headquarters in London, England. The company was founded in 1999 by Chris Barton, Philip Inghelbrecht, Avery Wang and Dhiraj Mukherjee.

Shazam uses a mobile phone's built-in microphone to gather a brief sample of music being played. An acoustic fingerprint is created based on the sample, and is compared against a central database for a match. If a match is found, information such as the artist, song title, and album are relayed back to the user. Relevant links to services such as iTunes, YouTube, Spotify or Zune are incorporated into some implementations of Shazam.

The app doesn't work at the moment!
Somehow, it tells you that there is no internet connection found.
Maybe someone can fix this?..

This app isn't developed by me, nor is it mine. So don't ask me anything about it!

Enjoy!
