Does it still have to listen through a mic or can it detect songs from internal audio now? I don't have any speakers and just use headphones.

Shazam Mac osx app is quite powerful. It doesn't only listen to your mic so it will detect the song even when the sound is off. Also it often detects a song playing in somebody's else headphones at our office. Kinda creepy sometimes.

I don't really know. It's hard to test since I have only headphones with mics.
