Apps like Shazam and SoundHound have significantly reduced the stress of hearing a songs you like and being unable to identify them — but turning those discoveries into something you can actually play back again and again isn't always a straightforward process, particularly as streaming services have caught on. SoundHound is changing that with the introduction of the "Add to Spotify" button to its iOS app, which lets the user automatically create a playlist on their Spotify account using songs they've identified in SoundHound. During the account registration process, new users will now have the opportunity to link their accounts together (existing users can do it from the app's settings).

There's no word yet on when the new feature might come to SoundHound's Android or BlackBerry 10 releases, but version 5.8 of its iOS app is out now.
