Since its launch in 2009, SoundHound has grown beyond a simple song recognition app — it can recognize songs you hum, create Pandora and Spotify (http://mashable.com/category/spotify/) playlists with the songs it recognizes, and even find and play the corresponding music videos from YouTube.
With its latest update, SoundHound is integrating hands-free voice control using Houndify, the company's natural language-understanding software.
