Actually, if you update, you’ll still keep your unlimited tagging. The update dialog says as much.

If you upgrade it will be to 1.8 not encore 2.0 so it will limit it to 5

If you are a new installer for the free version you’ll get 5 tags a month. $4.99 for unlimited. If you already have it installed, then you get unlimited for free.

You say:
“If you already have the app, it works like it always has.”

Does this mean that upgrades to the currently owned free app would remove this functionality?
For example, I still run v1.6 so I’m wondering if an upgrade to v1.8 will place the 5-tags-per-month limit on me…

I use it once a month, so free version would still work for me. I think if you were tagging songs all the time, the price would be fine.

I think it’s pretty much BS that they go and do this

Actually, those of us that already got it are lucky. Shazam has always charged on the other mobile platforms if I recall correctly.

$4.99 or 5 tags a month, huh? That’s too bad. Just when Shazam was becoming a household name they went and did a thing like that. Pity.

delete.
