Today’s best iPhone apps entrant is a bit of a mutant combining the location skills of Foursquare, the song identifying smarts of Shazam, the music recommendation skills of Pocket Hipster and the photo-sharing fun of Instagram in one place.

That may sound like an utter mess but, in fact, Soundtracking works brilliantly. Want to share a tune you’re currently enjoying? Fire up Soundtracking and it’ll show the latest song you’ve played on the iPod app, let you identify a song playing around you or look up the song in the Gracenote database…

Once you’ve picked the song that’s soundtracking your life at that moment you can share it via Soundtracking itself, Twitter, Facebook and Foursquare (automatically checking in when you share a song with location).

You can also add a photo to your shared song snippet and a comment on the track. The app also allows you to follow other Soundtracking users to see what songs they’re digging. Warning: it’s surprisingly addictive and has fast become one of our most used apps from the EP best iPhone apps library.
