Seems like this thread is full of people typing while wearing tinfoil hats.

They have added a feature which works the same way Shazam et al do. You want to share what you're listening to? Press a button, the mic gets activated, and Facebook ID's the song for you to save you typing it out and searching yourself.

They are not listening to you all the time, even when you're in the Facebook app.

Shazam doesn't try to run itself passively and report back to HQ when I don't need it to run.

Shazam also isn't the same level of data mining/profiling.
