SoundHound, the instant music search and discovery app, has been promoted to version 5.0 with faster music recognition, high-res album art and photos, a redesigned home screen, and an overall cleaner interface.

According to SoundHound, Inc., music search and discovery is “fast, easy, and beautiful” in SoundHound 5.0.

The app’s new home screen features top artists and your songs, and you get big, beautiful album art and hi-res artist photos throughout the app, says the developer. There’s an all-new SoundHound Player with LiveLyrics and instant links to artist info, and the entire interface is cleaner and easier to use, according to its makers.

The last enhancement is described as such: “Even more LiveLyrics scrolling in time with music: double tap to fast forward, or go landscape to see LiveLyrics full screen.”
