Song ID Apps broken?

Hi,

I've always been a fan of V Cast music ID before I recently switched to my Droid X--it was one of my favorite features. I was able to find it in the Verizon apps, as well as Shazam and SoundHound in the Droid Apps.

However, both Shazam and Soundhound, no matter how many times I try, say they didn't receive any music or failed to identify a song, and V Cast SongID just stays on the "Listening" screen until I have to close the app. The songs I've tried are relevantly popular songs so I know they're not too unique for the databases. I've placed my phone in every possible way up to my speakers but no such luck.

So... is this a common problem? Could it be leaning towards a phone issue and not an app issue with three apps all failing to carry out their function. I'm not going to pay for a full version until I get it worked out.

Wondering if anyone else had this issue and perhaps is just a setting I have to mess around with.

Thanks
 
I just got a Droid2 and downloaded the VCast Song ID app and am having the same problem. I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it and that didn't help - it says "Listening" and does nothing else. My wife has the same app on her Blackberry and it gets results in less than a minute.
