After the release of Instagram, the popular photo-based social network for iPhone, many other new apps have been presented as “the Instagram for” whatever other thing they did. This is the case of SoundTracking, a new app that has been described as Instagram for music.

SoundTracking is in fact a social network (yes, another one) that lets you share the music you’re listening to at any given moment. The program is integrated with the iPod app on your device, and automatically imports the song you’re currently playing. You can then add a personal comment or a picture if you want, publish it to your SoundTracking timeline and share it on Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare. Any song you share will appear on your activity feed, where your followers can leave comments, like them or love them.

Besides the iPod, SoundTracking can also import songs from any other music source thanks to an audio capturing tool that ‘listens’ to a song and then tries to identify and locate it on the Gracenote database. If none of these work, you can always enter the song data (artist and title) manually.

SoundTracking is nicely designed and easy to use, and can also be a fun way to discover new bands and styles among the songs shared by your friends.
