Listen to your Shazams
Shazam Shortcut Spotify Cover
From now onwards, whenever you use Shazam to recognize songs (be it through Siri, control center shortcut, or Shazam app), it’ll give you the option to open the music on Spotify. If you click the Open on Spotify button, it’ll redirect you to the song in the Spotify app. To sync Shazam songs to Spotify, you’ll need to sign up for a Shazam account and a Spotify account beforehand. Open Shazam on your device and then recognize a song by tapping.
After you've identified a song, tap the play button next to a Shazam to listen to a preview. To listen to the whole song, connect Shazam to Apple Music or another music streaming service that Shazam supports.
- This shortcut is an easy way to let Shazam identify the currently playing song and add it to a predefined Spotify playlist. Until today Spotify doesn't really offer any useful shortcut support. Adding songs to a personal Spotify playlist is quite cumbersome when using their official web API.
- Sync Spotify with Shazam By connecting your Shazam account with Spotify, you can save time when identifying a new song and adding it to your playlist. Launch Shazam and tap on “My Shazam” on the top-left corner. Click on the cog wheel, and under Streaming you’ll see the option to connect your Spotify account.
Apple Music
Tap the Apple Music button near a Shazam to listen to that song in Apple Music. If you’re an Apple Music subscriber, songs that you've Shazamed can be automatically added to a playlist called My Shazam Tracks in the Music app. On iPhone or iPad, swipe up to My Music from the main Shazam screen, tap the Settings button , then turn on “Sync Shazams to Apple Music.”
You can also add a Shazam to another Apple Music playlist without leaving the Shazam app. Just tap 'Add To' next to a Shazam, then tap the playlist. If you’re not already a subscriber, learn how to join Apple Music.
If you can’t add songs to a playlist, make sure to sync your music library with Apple Music.
Spotify
If you have the Spotify app on your device, you can connect Shazam to your Spotify account:
- On iPhone or iPad, swipe up to My Music from the main Shazam screen. On Android, swipe left to the Library from the main Shazam screen.
- Tap the Settings button , then tap Connect next to Spotify.
- Tap Agree in Spotify. To automatically sync your Shazams to a 'My Shazam Tracks' playlist in Spotify, tap OK.
