London - Shazam, the provider of a song identification service for mobile devices, on Monday launched a new premium mobile application, Shazam Encore, on Apple's (NASD: AAPL) App Store. The application, available for a one-time fee of $4.99, provides quicker song tagging; music recommendations; Shazam music charts; and a car mode where all songs played on the radio are tagged while a user is driving. In addition, new users of the existing free Shazam application -- which counts over 10 million downloads on the App Store -- will be limited to five tags per month.

I guess we see if the old

I guess we see if the old "crippleware" business plan works this time around. I do love when they remove existing features from current apps in order to force you to pay for the new one. awesome. They shoulda just made the whole thing .99 and been done with it. This crippled version is nonsense, and $5 is too much for this little app. THIS is why there is a race to the bottom. Now we just wait until they reduce the price to a legitimate amount. call me when it hits $2.
